The moral of the story is don't trust smooth -talking people who ask you for money. As a result of the scam, police have issued some advice: Always get independent advice if an offer involves money, personal informa- tion, time or commitment. • Do not agree to offers or deals right away. Ask around. • Do not hand over money or personal information, or sign anything until you check the credentials of the company that you are dealing with. An online search can be done in a matter of seconds. You can also contact the Canadian Better Business Bureau at www.ccbbb.ca or the Canadian Anti -Fraud Centre at www. antifraudcentre.ca. • Never send money (especially through wire transfer services) or give online account details to anyone you do not know and trust.
