Woman Charged after Police Investigate $150,000 Fraud

Release Date: March 7, 2018

16-35706

A 27-year-old Toronto woman has been charged by Kingston Police for defrauding a Kingston woman of just over $150,000 through her financial investment firm.

On September 22, 2016 the complaints financial advisor received an email from the accused posing as the complainant. At that time the accused simply requested a balance on the complaints investments. In October and November 2016 the advisor acted on instructions in additional emails sent by the accused posing as the complaint, and subsequently transferred over $150,000 to a specific bank account.

On November 21, 2016 the advisor contacted the complaint by phone in regards to another email request to transfer funds. At this time the fraud was then discovered and police were contacted. Kingston Police Fraud Unit Detectives began an investigation that eventually resulted in identifying the accused, a Toronto woman.

On March 6, 2018 the accused turned herself in at Kingston police headquarters. The accused was charged with fraud over $5000, and possession of stolen property over $5000.

March in fraud prevention month and this incident provides a good example of how important it is to be cautious and never rush when making any type of financial transaction. Take the time to verify information and never pay something immediately upon being contacted by someone over the phone or through email.

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre has some good information on how you can protect yourself from becoming a victim of fraud. http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/protectyourself-protegezvous/index-eng.htm

Kingston Police Officer Raising Funds for First Nation Girls’ Hockey Team

With support from Kingston Police and the Kingston Police Association an officer and his wife are attempting to raise funds to support a Northern Ontario First Nation girls’ hockey team as they travel all the way to the Ottawa area to compete in a local tournament.

Constable Steve Koopman and his wife, Katie Koopman, were moved by a documentary highlighting the challenges faced by the ‘Rez Girls 64’ Wolves Peewee hockey team from Eabametoong First Nation, also known as Fort Hope, which is a remote, fly-in reserve in Northern Ontario. The team and their coaching staff struggled to find ice time, obtain equipment and funding to travel to a tournament in Thunder Bay but were ultimately successful. Their story can be found on CBC Radio’s ‘The Doc Project’ here: https://goo.gl/C2LQKZ

However, their next task was to raise funds to fly all the way to Ottawa, confirm accommodation, and participate in the 35th Kanata Girls Hockey Association House League Tournament occurring March 23-25, 2018. Thankfully, and only until recently, the team once again received the funding needed to participate.

Steve Koopman states, “After hearing coverage of the Rez Girls’ journey, and thoroughly moved by the determination of the young women leading this team to have their players experience what we all want for our children, we reached out to offer assistance relating to our photography background and document their time in Ottawa and at the tournament. The team accepted and we are honoured to attend. We are donating our time, photography experience, and covering all our own personal costs during the long weekend. We have separately fundraised enough to order metallic sports prints for each of the girls, obtained gift certificates and donations to assist with some visiting costs, and found space to have a get-together party for them one evening in Ottawa.

“However, we felt there was one last thing that could put this over the top. This is where we are asking the local Kingston community, and hopefully even further abroad, to help raise funds to send these girls to an event many of us in Southern Ontario take for granted, namely an NHL hockey game, which we believe to be a first for all of them. Specifically, when they arrive in Ottawa and just prior to the girls’ own tournament commencing, the Ottawa Senators will be playing against the Edmonton Oilers on March 22. We have reached out to the Senators’ group booking office and they have been kind enough to reserve 40 tickets for the girls, coaching staff and parent chaperones while we attempt to raise $3,000 in funds. We want to thank and acknowledge the Kingston Police Association for a generous donation to get the momentum rolling, and also the Kingston Police administration for supporting this initiative. If we are fortunate enough to exceed our goal then any additional funds will go to assist the team’s next tournament.

“We believe many Canadians acknowledge the disparity in living conditions, opportunities, and experiences found between some communities and that of First Nation reserves, especially those in more remote northern regions. This story of a small but tenacious group has inspired us to make their journey and stay in Ottawa a truly memorable one. We want to thank in advance all of those who are so generous to participate in this endeavour to ensure these wonderful and resilient young girls have the opportunity of a lifetime to see a professional hockey game in our nation’s capital and to inspire them forward in their passion for sport, camaraderie, independence, and optimism.”

Woman Defrauds Employer $600,000 to Cover Her Mistakes

Release Date: March 13, 2018

17-42764

A 52-year-old Maxville woman has been charged after she misappropriated over 600,000 from her employer.

For the past several years the accused has acted as comptroller for a Kingston based business. During this time the accused sat on the boards of two charities located in Maxville, Ontario. Due to errors on her part, both charities incurred huge debts while the accused acted as the secretary treasurer. In an effort to keep the charities from falling into serious arrears the accused used her position as comptroller and began funneling money from her Kingston employer. Over the next three years the accused transferred just over $600,000 from the business into the bank accounts of both charities.

In December 18, 2017 the matter was reported to police and Detectives with the Kingston Police Fraud Unit began an investigation. It was determined some of the funds misappropriated by the accused to the charities were used to cover the expenses the accused incurred through her role as secretary treasurer.

On March 11, 2018 Detectives arrested the accused at her address in Maxville. The accused was transported to Kingston police headquarters where she was later released with a future court date.

The accused was charged with fraud over $5000.

Fraud Alert: iTunes Gift Cards and Fuel Cards

Release Date: March 13, 2018

The Kingston Police Fraud unit continues to receive complaints of fraud involving iTunes Gift Cards and Fuel Cards used as a form of currency.

The fraud usually involves contact by phone either directly or in-directly through an automated message, or through text messages or email messages. The message will be from someone instructing you to pay outstanding taxes, a legal fine, a utility or service bill, etc. To prevent you from having time to realize it is a scam, the contact usually has a sense of urgency that you pay immediately or risk further penalty, interest, arrest, charges, etc.

Here are a few examples:

• The fraudster claims to be with Canada Revenue Agency and failure to immediately pay taxes you owe will result in legal action and/or more interest.
• The fraudster claims to be and officer and if you do not immediately pay some sort of legal fine or bail charge, police will be at your door to arrest you.
• The fraudster claims to be with a utility or service company and threatens to cut off your heat/hydro, cable, water, etc. if you do not pay immediately.

The fraudster tells you the quickest and easiest way to pay your fines (to prevent arrest or charge) or fees (to prevent more interest) is by purchasing iTunes gift cards or Fuel gift cards. Once you purchase the card the fraudster will direct you to provide them with the numerical code revealed underneath the peel-off label on the back, in order to “pay your fine, fee, etc.” Once you give the fraudster the code, the money is gone almost immediately as the fraudsters can easily sell the loaded card numbers for a fraction of their retail price.

Those with some tech knowledge may easily recognize the above examples as frauds. However even tech savvy people have been scammed by fraudsters claiming the gift cards can be a way to use Apple Pay to avoid the security risks of linking your credit card to Apple Pay.

How to Prevent These Types of Frauds:

• Knowledge of the common frauds and scams is a big part. The Competition Bureau of Canada has a great educational resource, The Little Black Book of Scams, available here: http://www.competitionbureau.gc.ca/eic/site/cb-bc.nsf/eng/03074.html
• Share the information. Even if you are not tricked by a fraud or scam, a family member, friend, neighbour, colleague, employee, etc. might be. So talk about it, share it on social media (use hashtage #FraudPreventionMonth), and report it:
  • If you were contacted by a fraudster, whether or not you lost money or property, you can help build information on current frauds and scams by reporting online to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at: http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/reportincident-signalerincident/index-eng.htm.
  • If you are a resident of Kingston, you can also report the incident to Kingston Police online at: https://www.kingstonpolice.ca/services/online/crime-report/
• If you think you have just been scammed, contact Apple or the Gas Company immediately. They may be able to cancel the gift card before the funds are gone.
• Employers and employees who work where gift cards are sold, should have a conversation about these types of frauds. Have a plan in place of what should be done if a customer wants to purchase a large value of gift cards, especially if they seem to be doing so with some sense of urgency.

Cornwall Ontario – One of most crucial gigs on council is being on the police board.  It’s meaty. It’s one of the biggest budget items.  Yet it’s been used in a corrupt and abusive manner (last term under Kilger and Pat Finucan) and as a rubber stamp for police budget raises this term.

The board is made up of five members, two from council.   This term it’s conflicted Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy and Councilor Andre Rivette.    Rivette is an odd pick as he got into trouble last term, allegedly flashing his police board card to get out of a late night traffic stop, and of course his history from the Ice Storm where it was alleged that while clearing brush from the storm he backdoored some firewood.

He was quoted in other media:

“We are here to basically oversee and I think we should remain in that job.” “I would like to leave it in the chief’s and deputy chief’s hands and they know the day to day operation.”

The problem is that while Andre may wish this, its the board that oversees the CCPS.

And that’s a big money issue because the board has to power to tell the CCPS to cut its budget by say…a Doug Ford like 4% which would erase this years tax hike which is at a near historic rate even with a motion to cap it at 4%.

All it would take is the will around the council table to ask its two members to get one more vote on the police board and that could happen.  Would Manon Deschamps really defy the will of the City Council and block direction to the police force to trim its budget?

This is the ugly truth behind this years budget process where Cornwall CAO Maureen Adams and her management team give council brutal options for budget cuts instead of the clear areas.

It’s also a reason why it’s so important to support real journalism that hasn’t sold out because if the public isn’t aware of issues like this then they can’t make clear decisions of where they wish to vote and how their community should evolve, and the voters, the people that pay the freight for this hot mess, get to make  decision every four years.

And this is an election year.

So feel free to email councilors@cornwall.ca and let them know how you feel about the budget and please click that donate button below on this page so we can have more resources to send more journalists to cover meetings like the police board and so many other important meetings that need to be covered so we can build a better Cornwall.
