The Bracebridge O.P.P. are issuing a warning about online fraud involving financial transactions. The O.P.P. is urging the public to recognize warning signs and never share personal information with unknown contacts. Always verify contact details and take time to research businesses and reviews before making online purchases.

Be on the lookout for these red flags: fraudsters often pressure you for immediate deposits or full payment, offer suspiciously low prices, request payment via e-transfer, avoid in-person meetings, and present deals that seem too good to be true.
