Alberta police looking for Penticton woman after 16 victims send funds for meat
A Penticton woman has been charged with fraud for her alleged involvement in a $60,000 meat-selling scam.
Three Hills RCMP in Alberta say they have issued a warrant for the arrest of Krysta-Lyn Williams, a 36-year-old resident of Penticton. Williams was allegedly involved with a company named DBL Meats, which was reported to be based out of Kelowna and advertised selling "fresh farm products to customers in Canada," police said.
Sixteen victims sent DBL Meats $60,000 through e-transfer for meat products that were not delivered as promised, RCMP added. An investigation that launched in December 2023 found that DBL Meats is"not a legitimate company and had fraudulently obtained money from the victims," a police media release reads.Police are urging anyone that is a victim of the scam, or had contact with DBL Meats, to contact Three Hill RCMP at 403-443-5539.
