Protecting yourself from fraud
In an ongoing effort to help protect the residents of St. Thomas from falling victim to online scams and fraud, the St. Thomas Police Service would like to remind the community on ways to protect yourself and things to consider while online:

- No employer will reach out to you through apps like Whats App or Telegram
- No employer will ever pay you in crypto currency
- Be suspicious when asked to pay using crypto currency or gift cards
- No employer will ask you to invest your own money
- Use the Canadian Anti- Fraud Centre as a resource to familiarize yourself with current scams and additional ways to protect yourself
