BLJC has recently discovered that, along with a number of other reputable Canadian and US companies, it too has been targeted by individuals engaged in criminal activity in a forged cheque cashing scheme. More specifically, these individuals are conducting a campaign that circulates fraudulent cheques (checks) in Canada and the US, using well known companies names in an attempt to add credibility to the fraudulent cheque. These individuals may purport themselves to be in business with our organization, this is not the case! These criminal organizations contact unsuspecting individuals often through the internet and eventually entice these victims to cash fake cheques (checks). The victim is allowed to keep a % of the cash as a finders/processing fee and advised to send the remainder to banks in China, Britain, New York or other banks throughout the world.

To be clear, this scam changes somewhat from criminal organization to criminal organization, but the process and results are always the same, using a reputable and well known company as a backdrop, the victims lose substantial amounts of money when the cheques (checks) are returned as altered or forged. If you have been contacted by someone indicating that they conduct business with BLJC seeking to process payments, or you suspect that a transaction purported to be by BLJC is fraudulent, please contact Mr. Paul Carson, National Manager - Security Operations at 905-415-4733.
