GGPD officers have seen a rise in fraud/scams with the holidays approaching. Counterfeit electronic devices can be dangerous and transmit personal information to the suspects without you knowing. If the price of a high-value item seems too good to be true, it probably is. Never connect or transfer personal information to these items and contact the Garden Grove Police Department if you think you may be the victim of fraud.
