What was hoped to be some getaway time at a rental cottage instead turned into an serious setback for an area resident.
Elgin OPP are investigating an internet scam that has left a Southwold resident out $4,200 when they responded to an ad for a rental accommodation in Bracebridge.
After e-transfering the money, the victim was asked for an additional $250, which they refused and all contact ceased.
Elgin OPP are continuing their investigation and anyone with information is asked to contact police.
