When I first moved back to Canada, I was ALMOST the victim of fraud. I had been looking for an apartment to rent downtown on Kijiji, when I found a place that was perfect (and very cheap). I emailed the rental manager and waited to hear back from them. When they emailed me back, they told me that I needed to register my information on a website so that they could deliver the keys to me from overseas. It was very fishy. I looked at the website, it was full of spelling mistakes and was asking for me to send them my personal information, as well as my credit card inofrmation!!!!! I did not give them any information or money because I realized it was a fraudulent offer. I was very sad and hurt that someone tried to rip me off. I am very careful now when giving out my information online.
