Didsbury RCMP is warning Carstairs residents to be wary of a scam making the rounds on Kijiji.

Mounties say fraudsters are attempting to sell vehicles, trailers, and other off road vehicles via the online buy and sell site.

In the cases that have been reported to RCMP so far, sellers have asked buyers for a deposit to hold the item for sale.

Buyers are then provided with a Carstairs address to view the item for sale, only to later find out the address is fake.

It's believed similar scams are taking place in other towns throughout Southern Alberta.

Mounties are advising buyers to be aware and not send deposits to hold items for sale on Kijiji.

If you believe you have fallen victim to this or any other scams, you can file a report with your local police.
