The South Simcoe Police Service is issuing a warning about online job scams

The South Simcoe Police Service is issuing a warning about online job scams after a Bradford woman fell victim to one. The victim responded to a Facebook ad for a part-time data entry job, and the hiring process moved to WhatsApp with 10 other people, giving the appearance of legitimacy. The victim was scammed into paying upfront funds to receive her commission for reviewing video games, but she never received any earnings. The police are advising the public to be cautious when applying for online jobs and to be wary of requests for upfront payments. Source

If you know these 2 please share your information

If you know these 2 please share your information. They knew exactly what they were going to do. Be on the look out for this couple. Any information on them would be greatly appreciated. They skipped out on a huge bill yesterday in our establishment. I found these pictures on the Alcona Chats page as they have done this to other restaurants recently as well. Shame on these people and I hope... More Source

Scam alert This text is fraudulent. Please share with loved ones.

Scam alert ⚠️ This text is fraudulent. Please share with loved ones. I got this text yesterday and immediately something felt off. First, there's no reason my account should be on hold. Second, even if there was, TD do not reach via text for such matters. Third, the number isn't TD customer service number but is very similar. Finally, if you get a text like this from any bank, and you want to double check. Call the number on the back of your card. Never call the number in the text or reply back. Stay safe from scammers. 🫶 Source

BREAK IN AND ENTERING CUNDLES RD AND SPRINGDALE DR area Monday, January 8

⚠️ BREAK IN AND ENTERING ⚠️ CUNDLES RD AND SPRINGDALE DR area Monday, January 8 at 2:20am... these lowlife hoodlums tried to enter our home claiming they were the "police" and resulted to a broken window and a bullet that lodged into the drywall. Luckily, no one in my family got hurt physically. As you can imagine, we are suffering mentally and emotionally especially my little boys. My husband and I have no idea who could they possibly be. Police were called immediately and reports were made. I would very much appreciate if you can share my post to help ID these guys and spread awareness. Thank you! Source
