40 people defrauded of $300,000<br />

in Toronto-area Bitcoin tax scam<br />

Agencies<br />

AURORA: Police say more<br />

than 40 residents in communities<br />

north of Toronto have<br />

fallen victim to a Bitcoin tax<br />

scam, sending over $300,000<br />

to fraudsters since August.<br />

York regional police say<br />

they have seen a significant<br />

increase in reports of scammers<br />

identifying themselves<br />

as Canada Revenue Agency<br />

employees.<br />

<strong>The</strong> suspects tell victims<br />

they have overdue taxes to<br />

pay, and threaten them with<br />

arrest if they don't settle up.<br />

In recent months, the<br />

scammers have persuaded<br />

victims to send them money<br />

using the virtual currency<br />

Bitcoin.Officers say Bitcoin<br />

transactions are unregulated<br />

and untraceable, making<br />

it difficult to investigate the<br />

frauds. Police in York Region<br />

have advised the public<br />

that any calls or emails asking<br />

for Bitcoin tax payments<br />

should be treated as a scam.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Canadian</strong> Anti-<br />

Fraud Centre said it has received<br />

more than 2,000 complaints<br />

in <strong>20</strong>17 from people<br />

across the country who have<br />

been defrauded by someone<br />

pretending to work for the<br />

CRA.<br />

Of those victims, over<br />

100 reported using a digital<br />

currency like Bitcoin to pay<br />

the scammers.<br />

Mayor Linda Jaffrey welcomes<br />

37 new beds at Brampton Civic<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Parvasi</strong><br />

BRAMPTON: Brampton<br />

mayor Linda Jaffery has<br />

welcomed the provincial government's<br />

decision to make<br />

37 more beds available at<br />

Brampton Civic Hospital.<br />

She also welcomed the<br />

decision by the government<br />

to move forward with phase<br />

2 at Peel Memorial. In a statement,<br />

the mayor this step<br />

"demonstrates that the Province<br />

is listening and taking<br />

action.'' She said, "This announcement<br />

by the Province<br />

is much appreciated news and<br />

begins to address the explosive<br />

growth our city has been<br />

experiencing. <strong>The</strong>se investments<br />

are critical to our community<br />

and we welcome this<br />

decision. My Council and I are<br />

committed to working closely<br />

with the local leaders to continue<br />

to advocate for better<br />

health care in Brampton.''<br />

<strong>The</strong> mayor Brampton<br />

Civic Hospital is Ontario’s<br />

largest community hospital<br />

and it is also one of the busiest<br />

Emergency Departments in<br />

Canada."I’ve seen first-hand<br />

how challenging the demand<br />

gets at Brampton Civic and at<br />

the new Peel Memorial Centre<br />

for Integrated Health &<br />

Wellness. "While our doctors,<br />

nurses, staff and volunteers<br />

are the absolute best – working<br />

around the clock to ensure<br />

our residents get the highest<br />

quality health care – it was<br />

clear to me that they needed<br />

additional resources, which is<br />

why I wrote an open letter to<br />

Brampton residents last week<br />

highlighting our health care<br />

priorities and concerns as a<br />

City to the Province.''<br />
