FRAUD INVESTIGATION LEADS TO CHARGES

A joint police investigation between members from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Niagara Regional Police (NRP) have led to an arrest of a 53-year-old individual from Caledon.

“Earlier this year, detectives from the NRP and Major Crime Unit of the Caledon OPP Detachment have entered into a fraud investigation that involved a prize fraud scheme,” say Police. “The victim reported that they received a phone call from an unknown suspect claiming that the victim had won a multimillion-dollar prize. The suspect proceeded to state that a fee was required to be mailed in order for the monetary prize to be claimed.

“The victim complied and sent a sum of money to an address provided by the suspect. The victim then received another phone call from the suspect asking for more money; at that point, the victim became suspicious and reported the incident to police.”

As a result of the joint investigation between NRP and Caledon OPP, Donna Gordon-Allen, 53, of Caledon, has been charged with:

Fraud Over $5000

The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville to answer to the charge.

The charge has not been proven.

Caledon OPP would like to share some tips to help you recognize a lottery or prize scam:

Never send money to anybody you don’t know and trust

Don’t provide personal banking details to anyone that you do not know and trust

Any lottery or sweepstakes requiring upfront fees is a scam.

If you didn’t enter a contest, you didn’t win – no matter what you may be told

If congratulations come with a cheque – with instructions to deposit it and send a portion back – the cheque is fake

“If this male party had been a victim of a crime, he has not yet come forward to report the incident to police. Officers would like to speak with this male and the driver of the vehicle, as well as any witnesses to determine if any offence has taken place.”
