Fraud Protection Initiative
The Peterborough Police Service along with several convenience stores in Peterborough have started an information campaign around scams and bitcoin.
In many cases scammers will ask victims to make payments in bitcoin. In an effort to make as many people as possible aware of how scammers operate, officers with the Peterborough Police Service Fraud Unit attended convenience stores with crypto currency machines and have placed the following information near the machine (see poster below).
We ask residents to be vigilant and remind everyone that government agencies will not ask for payment in bitcoin, or pre-paid VISAs, gift cards, wire transfers or direct deposits to personal accounts. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible.
