What's good in Kingston

We've got your back! Protect yourself as online shopping season hits

We're talking about safety while shopping through social media today. 

The OPP's Bill Dickson has advice for if you see an ad on Social Media of any kind, like Facebook. 

He says in addition to reviews online, look at the comments. Obvious fakes are a red flag, but you can find nuggets of information within. 

Dickson says those links could be something different, like a scam-site mirrored to look like another popular online retailer.

In the end he says its all about watching your own back. 

The province has actually set up a page to help you identify and protect yourself from scams. Check it our here.
