Saskatchewan residents selling items online are being targeted by scammers posing as buyers, warns Conexus Credit Union. These fraudsters send fake e-transfer emails that appear legitimate, tricking sellers into providing banking credentials.
Conexus advises setting up autodeposit for e-Transfers to prevent fraud. Other safety measures include enabling digital banking alerts, avoiding links in messages, and never entering banking details outside official platforms.
March is Fraud Prevention Month, and Conexus encourages anyone who encounters fraudulent activity to report it. Staying vigilant can help prevent financial losses.
