KAWARTHA LAKES-A number of local residents took to Facebook recently to complain about being scammed on a buy and sell website. City of Kawartha Lakes OPP are now investigating the scam.
Police say a resident has reported that an agreement was made for the purchase of a pair of name brand boots. The resident paid a deposit and the remainder was to be paid upon delivery of the product. The deposit was paid by e-transfer but the boots were allegedly never delivered. The buyer attempted to contact the seller and now the seller has not returned any of these messages according to police.
OPP are investigating and would be interested in speaking with any other residents that may have been victims to this scam. Residents are asked to contact PC Lanning at the City of Kawartha Lakes OPP detachment at (705) 324-6741.
