Local police are warning the community of an ongoing ‘Fake Gold’ scam, after receiving an increased number of reports of this scam.
This scam often begins with an individual approaching you in a parking lot claiming to be from a wealthy country or from another province, and that they have run out of gas or have fallen on hard times and need to raise money.
They then offer to sell the victim valuable gold jewelry, which is fake.
Kingston Police recommend if you believe you are being targeted, to walk away and call police
