According to the recently released Terrace RCMP weekly review, a man reportedly lost around $1,200 in a rental property scam on August 29th.
After having a conversation with a person on Facebook about the terms and conditions as well as address and pictures regarding a property, the man sent a bank transfer to the scammer.
The man then went to what he thought was the property and discovered that it was not actually for sale.
Police are in the midst of investigating the incident but are also using this case as warning for other residents to let them know that if something looks to good to be true, it probably is.
