Police charged a Hamilton man this week for an alleged online ticket selling fraud and believe there may be more victims.
Authorities claim the 27-year-old suspect advertised event tickets on Craigslist under a slew of aliases, including Sarah Lambert, Robert Cook, John Pearson, Megan Hinton, Jeff Costas, Amber Schultz, John Jonensen, Dan Evans, Ryan Lighty, and Mark Shaw.
People who sent the man payments through email bank money transfers allegedly never received their tickets.
Roger Neiley is facing a slew of charges, including 20 counts of fraud, 20 counts of laundering proceeds and another 20 counts of false or misleading representations to the public. He appeared in court Tuesday.
Investigators believe there may be other victims. If you have any information call police at (416) 808-7300 or Crime Stoppers at (416) 222-TIPS.
