A vigilant Giant Tiger employee stopped a potential scam that would have cost an individual $2,500.
Sarnia police said the potential victim was buying Google Play Cards Tuesday morning when a store employee told the person they were likely the target of a scam.
With fraud so prevalent, police are hopeful more people at the point of purchase will alert potential victims.
The public is reminded about the perils of sending money to someone who claims you've won a prize, and that when someone starts asking you to buy gift cards, you should get a second opinion.
