Toronto Police say they’ve received several complaints from people who’ve been duped by a scam that ends with them inadvertently buying their deceivers new expensive cellphones, smartwatches and tablets. Police say several victims came forward between October 2021 and July 2026 with similar stories of being contacted by someone claiming to be from a legitimate cellphone provider. Investigators say the callers are often in possession of the person’s actual account and billing information, making it seem believable. “The caller walks the victim through placing a legitimate order on the official cellphone provider website or app.” Police say the scammer may also have a legitimate courier company pick the item up.
