Online since 1995. Since February, numerous people have reported that they paid thousands of dollars through a North Vancouver business, but the money never went through to the intended recipients in Iran, according to police. North Vancouver Mounties declined to name the business. No charges have been laid. Officers in the Economic Crime Unit continue to investigate.
Police say the business attracted customers through a low commission rate.
North Vancouver Mounties say that they require information from financial institutions in Iran and witnesses who reside in Iran to come here for court for a possible prosecution. The business is also being investigated for other alleged financial crimes. North Shore News a division of Lower Mainland Publishing Group Inc., a division of Southam Publications, a CanWest Company.
