The Waterloo Regional Police Service is proud to take part in Fraud Prevention Month and is launching a campaign to educate the public on current scams affecting the community.
With the pandemic forcing people to stay home, many people have turned to the internet to search for employment, order groceries, and complete every day tasks. This has left more people susceptible to on-line scams and fraudsters who are looking to capitalize on the challenging times of COVID-19.
