A Toronto-area woman who was defrauded out of $158,000 in a roofing scam over the summer received about half her money back following a tip from a CTV News viewer.
“Getting that money back, boy, oh boy, did that make me feel good and my family too,” Sita Dubeau, of Scarborough, told CTV News Toronto.
“I was extremely shocked, in a state of disbelief, but you’re scared about it,” Dubeau said at the time. “I went to the bank, got wire transfers, e-transfer, whatever they wanted. I paid the whole thing.” After they got the money, they didn’t come back, and her son, Dylan, found out the photos of the rotting roof weren’t even from their home.
CTV News passed on the information to Toronto police, who connected with Interpol, an international police organization.
