A Toronto couple is facing multiple charges in connection with a cybercrime operation that defrauded more than 570 Canadians out of millions of dollars.
The suspects are accused of using technology from a website that masks their phone numbers while posing as reputable entities, including banks, government agencies, and law enforcement, to “deceive their victims and trick them out of their hard-earned savings,” Ontario RCMP said in a press release.
