Victoria County District RCMP investigate fraudulent scam
Victoria County District RCMP is investigating after two people from Ontario fall victim to a scam in Englishtown.
On October 19, police received a report of a possible fraud from a victim in Ontario. The victim explained that they had purchased two shipping containers from a company named GCTMM Unlimited Logistics. The company appeared to be legitimate and the victim transferred over $5,000 to the company as payment. Once the payment was accepted, the victim never heard from the company again and was unable to get through to them.
On October 25, police received a similar report of possible fraud involving the same company. The victim in this case was also from Ontario and transferred nearly $2,500 to the company as payment. They also never heard from the company after payment was accepted.
Through investigation, police determined that the address listed for the company was a vacant piece of land with no business taking place there. Police also determined that while the company’s website does make it appear legitimate, but grammatical errors and hyperlinks within the site that do not work are signs of a scam.
