SWIFT CURRENT — Swift Current Municipal RCMP are warning people not to fall for a scammer selling speakers out of his van.
On Jan. 25, Swift Current Municipal RCMP received a report of a male in a grey Chrysler Pacifica van, Alberta license plate A26836, selling home entertainment equipment out of the back of his van. The male claims that the equipment is surplus and is offering it at prices well below the claimed value.
RCMP say this is similar to a common scam called the "White Van Speaker Scam" and often results in people purchasing goods of lesser quality at highly inflated prices based on false information.
Patrols within Swift Current did not locate the male or his van and it is possible he has left the area, however, RCMP would like to remind the public to be cautious when purchasing items from people unknown to them.
