Victims of an elaborate Canada Revenue Agency telemarketing scam in early 2019 may see some money back after the sale of a Burnaby house allegedly used to launder the ill-gotten gains.
Posing as representatives from the CRA, RCMP, software companies and banks, they contacted unsuspecting victims and demanded they send money and gift cards to mailboxes in Ontario and B.C., according to allegations in B.C. Supreme Court documents. Xue, a Chinese citizen, is wanted on an outstanding warrant as he has yet to make a single court appearance on the charges.The Canada Border Services Agency arrested Xue after an immigration investigation but released him on a $10,000 surety, according to court documents. In the meantime, the province’s civil forfeiture office has gone after a house owned by Xue’s father, Zenggang Xue, at 7318 Fourth St. in East Burnaby.
Xue’s father denied those claims, saying the house belonged to him and was “the result of his hard work and savings,” according to a response to the lawsuit.
