Vancouver Fraudsters Being Sued
Microsoft is suing a trio of Vancouver Fraudsters: Eric Lam, Gordon Lam and Melanie Suen. Click-Fraud is rampant in the pay-per-click advertising industry, as anything that people can do to rip others off for money easily will be. The lawsuit is for $750,000, though it allegedly cost Microsoft $1.5 Million in repayment to advertisers.
Vancouver and the west coast of Canada has become a hotbed of fraud with identity theft rampant in Victoria and the rest of Vancouver Island. I’ve personally been a victim when someone intercepted a money order to my Nanaimo apartment and cashed it in a bank in Duncan, BC with a fake driver’s license number. Nothing ever happened because the sender of the money order did not want to pursue it.
Additionally there are many online fraudsters that “trade” watches and other valuables with others, and send them only boxes with old tommy hilfiger t-shirts, and others in Vancouver that take money and send no watch. It seems to be a very common theme with Panerai collectors mostly. Is it the type of crowd that the watch attracts? Possibly. Either way, vancouver is a scam artists haven.
