Underwood said police are unclear exactly how the man got the victims’ credit card information. Impersonating a Canada Post delivery person was one ruse used by a fraudster who allegedly ran a GTA-wide, online shopping scam using stolen credit card information to buy about $40,000 worth of electronics. Next stop would be the victim’s bank — where the man would ask for a replacement card, again with the stolen ID. Sometimes the man would lay in wait for the delivery person and sign for the package himself. When the fraudster did however, Underwood said, he would go to a post office and using the ID, redirect a victim’s mail.
