This is a copy of scam billing that Sunrise Ford dealer principal Leon Chrétien received in the mail recently.
Local businessman didn’t bite on scam
There’s a new scam doing the rounds, warns the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce, after at least one local business was targeted. Leon Chrétien, dealer principal of Sunrise Ford Sales Ltd. in 100 Mile House, received an invoice asking for payment of $845 to close an account with “Local City Business Search.” Chrétien says the lack of a phone number, or solid information to track the company down, was a major tip-off the “invoice” was fake. It’s not the first time he’s received similar scam invoices. “They [scammers] usually target larger chains and companies, where it’s easier for something like this to slip through the cracks with accounting.” The fake invoices often claim to be a charge for closing an account. Chrétien warns other businesses to be wary. “If someone’s not on your vendor list, check it out. Check everything.”
Surrey RCMP contacted the Ashcroft RCMP Detachment requesting assistance in locating a missing man on Sept. 16. A 56-year-old Surrey man was travelling to Quesnel for a hunting trip on Sept. 12 and hadn’t been heard from since. Ashcroft members were asked to check the Red Hills Rest Stop south of Ashcroft after a possible sighting, but he wasn’t located. His body was found in a small lake five kilometres south of Clinton on Sept. 19. His pickup truck had gone off the road, down an embankment and into a lake, but could not be seen from the highway. He was spotted by passing cyclists. There was no evidence of foul play.
