It is a simple fraud as old as time. All it takes is a gullible friend and a lot of larceny. Cops say Fraham Pirbhai has worked this scam 40 times to the tune of $200,000 over a period of six months on Toronto residents. Pirbhai would give them cheques or deposit them into the victims’ account on their behalf The victims believed that the deposited cheques were valid, and provided the man the equivalent of the funds deposited into their account Police believe there may be other victims.
