More than 100 charges have been laid against an Edmonton man accused of defrauding people across Canada who were seeking tickets through the Kijiji website.
Police say there were more than 80 online transactions between January and November last year in which customers sent money for events, but allegedly got nothing in return.
Investigators believe the 30-year-old suspect and a female accomplice bilked people out of more than 12-thousand dollars, although they think the figure may be much higher.
Kijiji Canada worked with police before charges were laid against Elias Batraki.
