Police said the scammer will ask, quite convincingly, that a fee be paid to them for the vehicle to be delivered when, in fact, no car has been won.

Anyone who has been a victim of this scam is being urged to file a report online with Saskatoon police.

Attempted acts of fraud can be reported to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre online or by calling 1-888-495-8501.
