My Long Time Friend Of 30 Years,That works For Phone Busters (RCMP) Informed Me Of This.
These online scams that I have investigated are all about taking (fishing) for personal info. Your Full Name D.O.B. Drivers Lic# SIN Number and Visa or Master Card. All for the sake of porting a number. Do NOT Give Any Info What So Ever Over The Phone,Or Text! Selling 416 numbers $30, or $29 as it states tells you plenty! "ITS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE" but think about it. You call in, and ask about a number you really want, then they say sure we will hold on to it, but we need you to pay just the fee of $29. ...Bang!! If you get it, or not you just paid $29 to give your personal info to them. Now what? Kijiji DOES NOT CARE! Do yourself a favour, avoid exposing, or giving your personal info over the phone. Insist to meet up and see this person, perhaps at a Mall (public place) if they Refuse, its A SCAM! Toronto & The GTA Is getting bad With All Types Of Scams On Kijiji.

Kijiji ATTRACTS A GOOD 70%-80% of Criminals. THESE ARE SCUMS OF THE WORLD! What A Shame!

First you go to google.or bing then punch in what your looking for. e.g. "416 Numbers For Sale" or "iphone5 for sale" Whatever it is insist to meet in person,do they have a website? References? If you buy a phone that is lost or stolen,it may shut down on you by the provider,or traced back to you. Is it worth the hassle? ....NO! Spend the extra and go to a carrier, as for porting a number, you,and only you should be speaking to them. Again I will say just google and find,but stay away from kijiji and Craigs List and ebay. Not safe,so I hope this helps. Good Luck, & Be Safe Tracy
