The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is warning the public about a growing trend of fraudulent gaming ads that are posing as advertisements for Casino Rama. These ads are not only deceptive, but they are also potentially dangerous for unsuspecting individuals who may fall victim to scams or identity theft.
According to OPP spokesperson, Sergeant Carlo Berardi, the fraudulent ads have been popping up on various social media platforms and websites, claiming to offer exclusive deals and promotions for Casino Rama’s gaming services. However, these ads are not legitimate and do not come from the reputable casino in Orillia.
“These fraudulent ads are designed to deceive individuals by using Casino Rama’s branding and logo to appear authentic,” said Sergeant Berardi. “But in reality, these ads are a means for scammers to illegally obtain personal information, such as credit card details or banking information.”
The OPP is urging the public to be cautious when coming across these fraudulent gaming ads and to always verify the legitimacy of promotional offers before providing any personal or financial information. They also advise individuals to report any suspicious ads to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or local authorities.
Casino Rama has also released a statement addressing the issue, reassuring customers that they only advertise through official channels and cautioning against engaging with these deceptive ads.
“We take the security and privacy of our customers very seriously,” said a spokesperson for Casino Rama. “We urge individuals to be vigilant and report any fraudulent ads to the appropriate authorities.”
In an age where online scams and identity theft are becoming increasingly common, it is important for individuals to exercise caution and skepticism when encountering promotional offers, especially those that seem too good to be true. The OPP’s warning serves as a reminder for the public to stay informed and protect themselves from falling victim to fraudulent schemes.
As investigations continue into the source of these deceptive ads, the OPP is working diligently to ensure the safety and security of Ontario residents. In the meantime, they advise individuals to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to prevent further harm.
