WOODSTOCK - Woodstock Police are asking residents to be cautious when e-transferring money.
The warning comes as more and more people are getting fraud emails, asking for funds to be sent. Sometimes the emails are even coming from friends or family members who have had their accounts hacked.
If you are sending money via e-transfer be diligent in checking the email address or phone number you are sending it too.
If you get an email from a friend or family member, asking for help. Make sure to double check the request and don't send any funds until you are 100 percent certain you know where it is going.
