Ontario Passport Scam Exposed | Canada News

Two Ontario operators are facing serious charges after allegedly duping customers into believing they were using official government passport services—when they were running a slick, deceptive scam. The Competition Bureau accuses Passport Online and Passport Express of fraud over $5,000 and possession of crime proceeds, plus deceptive marketing under the Competition Act, from 2016 to 2020. Ads promised easy passport renewals, but customers were likely paying extra or falling for misleading tactics. This case underscores how crucial it is to stay vigilant online—especially with sensitive documents—and highlights the watchdog’s role in protecting consumers from exploitation. Charges are pending in court. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
