Vintage car scam used Calgary bank accounts

Nice to see sometimes these losers get caught...

A British Columbia man has been charged with defrauding victims in the United States using bank accounts held in Calgary.

The charges result from a two-year investigation by the Calgary police and RCMP into a series of internet frauds where people were duped into paying for vintage automobiles that were never delivered.

Kurtis Eugene Pomerleau of Kelowna, B.C., was arrested and charged last week with two counts of fraud over $5,000 and two counts of theft over $5,000, Calgary police said Wednesday.

Const. Dean Nichol of the Calgary force's commercial crime unit said two victims in the U.S. were defrauded of about $100,000 through the scheme that used auction website eBay.
