In October 2022, the victim received a phone call from an unknown man who identified himself as a police officer with Shanghai Municipal Police. The victim was threatened to pay money or face being arrested for committing criminal offences.
In November 2022, the suspect attended the victim’s residence in the City of Markham and provided fake photo identification, claiming that it was issued by Shanghai Municipal Police and Interpol. The suspect again threatened to arrest the victim if she did not comply with providing payment to avoid being arrested.
The victim was driven to two banks by the suspect where a quantity of money was transferred to the suspect’s account. The suspect also provided a forged document that listed him as a supervisor with Shanghai Municipal Police and authorized him to seize money in Canada on their behalf.
On October 3, 2024, 57-year-old Zhi Yong WU was charged with numerous offences. Investigators are releasing his photograph as they believe there are more victims.
