Ripped off!

The nigerian mail scam has gone hi tech & is now running in the cyber
world as well.
be on the lookout for an on-line scam.
dryden police say a man claiming to be working in nigeria scammed a local resident while chatting online.
after some time, he convinced the eventual victim he could not cash a work cheque & asked if he could have the money deposited in his victim’s account, in return for a wire transfer back to him.
police say by the time the bank determined its a bogus cheque the Dryden resident was out of a substantial amount of money.
the city will be hosting an internet safety seminar next tuesday night at the anglican church to discuss similar scams and how to prevent them.
