DUNNVILLE—One individual has been charged resulting from a fraud investigation that was initiated in the fall of 2023.
On October 7, 2023, the Haldimand detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) launched an investigation that involved several victims in the Dunnville area.
The investigation revealed individuals purchased concert tickets on a popular social media platform. Once a price was agreed on, a money transfer was completed.
When the purchaser realized the tickets weren’t sent on the day of the event, they contacted the seller, who indicated a refund would be issued, which never occurred.
A 41-year-old woman of Dunnville has been charged with the following offences:
- Fraud Over $5,000 (two counts)
- Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5,000 (two counts)
- Laundering Proceeds of Crime
The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Cayuga on March 4, 2025.
Investigators have reason to believe there may be more victims and encourage the public to report this criminal activity to police.
