Montreal sellers on Facebook Marketplace say that there’s a new form of scam out there.
Deceptive buyers can access your bank account, if you’re not paying attention.
The thief offers an e-deposit, to hold the item.
If you click on the e-transfer link, you are not directed to your official bank page.
Cybersecurity experts say the link is disguised with a pretty convincing official-looking brand and asks the seller to input their banking information to claim the payment.
If you do, the scammer gets access to their account and cleans you out, by sending themselves an e-transfer.
Montreal police say the scam seems to be relatively new in Montreal.
