According to the RCMP: “In the world of fraud prevention and investigation, the two most used phrases are “buyer beware” and “you don’t get something for nothing”. Remember those phrases and repeat them to yourself whenever you receive any solicitation, particularly when it is by telephone. Don’t send any amount of money to someone you have never met until you actually receive what you have been promised. Also keep in mind when an offer is too good to be true, it probably is.”
