CRIME: SCAM ALERT
DATE: April 20, 2017
RCMP FILE: 2017-19548
A West Kelowna woman is a little poorer after responding to a text message promising to make extra money by displaying a vinyl advertising sign on her car. The communication began with a text stating she could make $300 a month. A series of emails led to an agreement and the company sent a sizeable cheque to pay for the advertisement. She was then instructed to send an electronic money order to an email address. The cheque sent by the company turned out to be fraudulent. The email and web addresses are untraceable and could be anywhere in the world.
