Victims attended an apartment, met individuals who falsely claimed to be the current tenants, and signed rental agreements online. Victims then sent money by e-transfer to secure the rental unit. When they arrived to take occupancy, they discovered the unit was unavailable and the individual posing as the landlord could no longer be contacted.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators have identified at least eight victims with combined financial losses exceeding $30,000. None of the victims received the promised accommodations or had their money returned.<\/p>\n<p>Warrants have been issued for the arrest of:<\/p>\n<p>* Jashanpreet Sidhu, 23, of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Fraud over $5,000<br \/>\u2013 Possession of property obtained by crime<\/p>\n<p>* Priyanshu Goel, 24, of Surrey, B.C.:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Fraud over $5,000<\/p>\n<p>Members of the public are encouraged to exercise caution when searching for rental accommodations online.
