Toronto - Moving company fraud has been an issue in Toronto. This week nine people were arrested for their part in a major fraud scheme that defrauded residents of the city.

In March the Toronto Police Department had warned residents about a scheme where some moving companies in the area are holding customer's property for ransom unless they pay more than they were quoted at the start of the job. At the time Constable Tony Vella stressed that if a deal seemed too good to be true it likely was. The companies advertised in local papers, free newspapers and on the Internet. On Thursday Toronto Police busted a fraud ring that defrauded customers who paid movers to move their household contents from one location to another. During the arrests the police seized 12 moving vans, a a 2004 Audi, 2001 Mercedes Benz and $20,000 in cash. The following moving companies were involved: − Indo−Pak Movers, − Desi Movers, − Supreme Movers, − Comfortable Movers, − Dynamic Movers, − Dynamite Movers, − Elizabeth Movers, − Pacific Van Line Moving Inc, − Master Movers, − A1 Express Movers − Xpress Movers. Eight men and one woman face a total of 160 charges including fraud under, extortion, conspiracy to commit indictable offense and possession of proceeds of crime. Syed Altaf Hussain, 57, of Toronto, Arif Adnan Syed, 27, of Markham, Syed Amit Monwar Hussain, 29, of Toronto, Clyde Alen Muffty, 34, of Toronto, Scott Paul Slater, 31, of Toronto, Vanessa Longhurst, 38, of Toronto, Joseph Lima, 22, of Toronto and Syed Tamim Rejw Hussain, 25, of Toronto were arrested and charged with the offenses.
