A Fort McMurray woman is facing charges after a local business owner filed a complaint with RCMP. Crews say the 31 year old woman who was an employee of the business was charging clients an additional fee to e-transfer that was later sent to her personal account.
Following investigations from more than 100 victims who claimed they were defrauded, crews discovered more than $20,000 was taken between March 2021 and June 2023. The woman allegedly cashed several cheques that were made payable to her employer.
She’s been charged with 88 counts of fraud under $5,000, possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000 and forgery. She’ll appear in Fort McMurray court on December 18th.
