The message residents have been receiving from the fake Moose Jaw Co-op account on Facebook

The Moose Jaw Coop is warning residents of a bizarre scam making its way through the city, where a Facebook profile nearly identical to theirs, is messaging residents saying they've won a contest. The account then asks for credit card or personal information.

The Co-op is reminding everyone that they will never ask for personal information for any contest or post.

A number of other scams have been making their way through Moose Jaw as well, including STARS lottery and gifts-card scams.

Never give your personal information over the phone or online if you aren't certain you know who you are talking to, and if you are unsure if the person on the other end of the phone is legitimate; hang-up, and call the company back through their official number and ask if they had been trying to reach you.
