The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) South Frontenac Detachment is reminding folks to ask questions and conduct research before sending money online.

On Thursday July 30 shortly after 8:30am an individual reported to have been communicating with a party online. The correspondence was primarily through an online dating website. The online party had requested funds and approximately $1700 was sent.

To help prevent yourself from being a victim of this type of fraudulent activity, be aware of the following: Ask further questions before sending money online, do not provide personal information to someone unknown to you, be confident in who you are communicating with online

If the situation would be suspicious in a face to face encounter, the same applies to online experiences

Before sending money digitally, always remember to pump the brakes, ask questions and conduct research. If it's too good to be true, it likely is.
