The Crookston Police Department has received several reports of Crookston residents receiving a letter inviting them to join a free online private social network platform called Nextdoor.
Nextdoor is a networking platform where members can post comments about what is going on in their neighborhood such as local events or where to hire a contractor or mechanic. This is also a platform where “fraudulent contractors or neighbors” will contact you in an attempt to financially defraud or scam members.
Nextdoor is a registered company with the Better Business Bureau, but is not accredited and has hundreds of negative reviews. To become a Nextdoor member, you are required to provide personal information. As with any type of possible scams, do not give out any personal or financial information and desist contact immediately.
