A 25-year-old man from the Greater Toronto Area has been charged with defrauding the public out of tens of thousands of dollars, police announced. Muhammad Raahim allegedly sold insurance policies that lacked proper authorization, according to Peel Regional Police. The accused reportedly provided victims with "falsified proof of insurance documents," leading them to believe they had valid coverage.
Peel officials identified 15 incidents connected to the scheme, with reported losses exceeding $10,000. Raahim was previously licensed to sell insurance but allegedly continued doing so after losing his legal authorization. He was arrested on August 26 and charged with one count of defrauding the public. With conditions attached, he has been released and awaits a future court appearance.
Police urge the public to verify the licensing of insurance providers, brokers, and agents before purchasing coverage or relying on proof of insurance documents.
