Police Say Exercise Caution When Selling Online

Locals worried about selling items online are being told if they exercise caution, it shouldn't be an issue. Woodstock Police Chief Rod Freeman says sadly there are those out there looking to victimize others and we need to protect ourselves. "You screen the people over the telephone first I would suggest. Finding out who they are and what time they are expected at your house. If you're inviting a stranger into your home it may be a good idea to have a neighbour accompany you or a friend or relative just so you've got some people around you." "Trust your gut. If you get an uneasy feeling about somebody you're dealing with, then back away. You can always recontact them again if needed." Freeman says residents shouldn't fear selling their items online, they just need to remember that if it doesn't feel right or is too good to be true, it likely is.
