Police have located 24 victims of this scheme, in which victims are asked to provide money in exchange for a very high rate of return. This makes the investment enticing. The culprits posed as a successful overseas investor or CSIS Officer (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) who has access to unclaimed government money. A total of approximately 4 million dollars was taken from the victims that have come forward.
