As Fraud Prevention Month comes to a close, the Belleville Police Service reminds the community that fraud can happen to anyone, and vigilance does not stop here.
The BPS Criminal Investigation Division continues to share resources throughout the year.
Fraud can take many forms, from cryptocurrency scams and phishing emails to online shopping and investment fraud. Common warning signs include urgent requests, unusual account activity, unsolicited requests for personal information, or offers that seem too good to be true.
Education is your best defense. Follow BPS on social media for weekly posts highlighting common scams and practical tips on how to protect yourself throughout 2026.
Even after March, the team at BPS continues to visit local businesses to provide in-person education and resources on fraud prevention. Stay tuned for future events and updates.
“We encourage everyone to stay alert, stay safe, and remember: fraud prevention starts with you,” BPS officials stated.
“If you see anything suspicious, contact us immediately. Together, we can protect our community.”
