Battlefords RCMP are warning the public to be on the lookout for a jewelry sales scam.
Since last week Battlefords RCMP say the detachment has received several calls about a group of people selling fake gold jewelry in parking lots of businesses in the Battlefords.
Police say the perpetrators approach victims, saying they are looking to sell some gold jewellery to get money to get back home.
According to the RCMP, the jewely appears to be gold, but has little to no value and is of poor quality. Several victims have been identified so far and a fraud investigation has been initiated into the complaints.
The fraudsters were last seen in a black 2018 Dodge Charger with Manitoba licence plates. Investigation has confirmed there are at least three couples involved in pedalling this fake merchandise.
The public is advised not to buy the jewelry and report the matter to police immediately.
Anyone with information about this or any other crime, is urged to contact the Battlefords RCMP at 306-446-1720 or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), through SaskTel at *8477, or submit a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
