Worth Thousands: Financial Institutions

Credit Card Information Dept: Salman Farooq, who until recently was set to represent the Conservatives in the Pickering-Scarborough East riding, was arrested on Thursday and charged with 14 fraud-related offences, according to CTV. Police say the suspect convinced one of the men to deposit stolen and forged cheques worth thousands of dollars into the account. The attempt was thwarted and no money was lost in the incident, police said and a former provincial Conservative candidate is facing more than a dozen charges after police allege he had been defrauding financial institutions and using stolen credit card information for more than four years. Police allege the Woodbridge, Ont., man conspired with two other men and opened a false business account with a bank last year. As reported in the news.
