Police Stop Online Auction Fraud

A British Colombia man stands accused of stealing nearly $100,000 from a phony online car auction. The Calgary Police Service allege the suspect set up online auction for classic cars - one for a 1967 Corvette, the other for a 1932 vintage Ford - and swindled two would-be buyers for nearly $100,000 together. Kurtis Eugene Pomerleau is now charged with two counts each of fraud over $5,000 and theft over $5,000 but police said more auction victims are still expected to step forward.
