Another warning to residents to be wary of any deals that seem too good to be true.

Chatham-Kent Police say a local man was bilked out of $2125 after trying to buy a sea container online. The sea container never arrived, and police say the company’s contact information is no longer available.

Authorities are reminding everyone the key to protecting yourself from fraud is to watch for fake or deceptive ads, and verify the company and its services are real before making contact.
