Chatham-Kent Crime Stoppers is encouraging residents, parents, and educators to learn more about the warning signs of gang recruitment as part of their ongoing efforts to reduce gangs and gang-related activities across the community.

Chatham-Kent Crime Stoppers is reminding residents to remain vigilant about vehicle security after police in several jurisdictions across Ontario have reported incidents involving tracking devices being secretly attached to vehicles.

Be aware of how scammers can get you to reveal personal information over the phone, for example, they may cay something like “Hi Grandpa, do you know who this is?" to get the victim to reveal a name. Often, the imposter will ask the grandparent to “keep the information from mom and dad,” swearing the grandparent to secrecy. They may even pretend to hand the phone over to someone posing as a lawyer seeking immediate payment.

Romance scams often begin on dating websites, social media platforms, or messaging apps. Scammers create convincing profiles, build trust quickly, and then manipulate victims into sending money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or personal information.

Chatham-Kent Crime Stoppers is reminding residents to take proactive steps to protect their homes and personal safety as many people prepare to travel internationally during the winter months.
