Dieppe women arrested in rental deposit scam
Two people from Dieppe have been arrested in connection with a rental deposit scam.
Codiac RCMP say a 28-year-old woman was arrested on March 3, and another woman, who is 44 years old, was arrested two days later.
In February, police received several reports of rentals advertised on social media, but once the first month’s rent was paid, the fraudster would stop communication.
Police say two victims were defrauded of $7000 total.
The RCMP has reason to believe there may be additional victims.
The suspects are believed to have used multiple names, aliases, and email addresses to receive e‑transfer payments.
Anyone who thinks they may have been a victim of this scam is asked to contact the Codiac RCMP at 506‑857‑2400.
