TORONTO - A Mississauga man is due in court next week after RCMP and border services agents seized $917,000 in fake money orders and several fake IDs.
Police say the items were seized at a Mississauga apartment last Friday.
RCMP say fraudulent money orders are often used as part of a scheme in which people are asked to pay part of the value of the money order as an "advance fee."
The victim then discovers the money order is worthless, and the fee cannot be recovered.
Maxwell Asante, 26, is charged with fraud over $5,000, possession of forged documents and possession of false identity information.
Asante is due in court in Brampton, Ont., on April 28.
