Ridgewood NJ, The Ridgewood Police reminds you to always be safe when dealing with on-line based transactions. If you do decide to post or purchase items from Craigslist type sites, please be sure to read up on some safety precautions you can take so you don’t become a victim. Here is a link to craigslist’s “Avoiding Scam’s” page which will give you some tips on how to better protect yourself. https://www.craigslist.org/about/scams
Currently there is a scam e-mail that is being sent around claiming that it is from the FBI and that you are owed money. Please do not give any personal information or make any payments to anyone claiming to be from a government agency as they will not request that type of information via email.
