Hold the phone: Cops
Market Mounties probe allegations of fraud and forgery
Wendy McLellan, Staff Reporter The Province
A phone service company that shut down last week has triggered an
RCMP investigation into fraud and forgery allegations that could involve
millions of dollars and victims around the world.

"This was not just a business going under -- there's more going on here,"
RCMP Cpl. Grant Learned said yesterday.

After Delecom Communications Ltd. left companies throughout the Lower
Mainland without phone, fax and Internet service on Thursday, police
received information that led them to search three offices operated by Pay
Pop Inc. and its subsidiary Delecom Communications, Learned said.

On Friday, the market group of the RCMP's commercial crime unit seized
nine computers and five boxes of files.

Both Delecom and Pay Pop buy bulk phone lines wholesale and resell
them to businesses.

The investigation was prompted by "allegations of fraud, forgery and
uttering forged documents in relation to stock certificates obtained by the
company," police said.

Even though the investigation is still in its early stages, police are reporting
the investigation quickly to alert people before stock markets open
tomorrow, Learned said.

The market had closed Friday when the search was initiated, he said.

Pay Pop is not listed on a national stock exchange, but is publicly traded
on the over-the-counter bulletin board. Head office for Delecom
Communications is listed in Aldergrove.

Learned said regulatory agencies in Canada and the U.S. have been
notified of the investigation. No arrests have been made and no charges
have been laid.

"There are potentially millions involved and the number of potential victims
is completely unknown, but we expect it to be very significant," he said.

The stocks were traded worldwide, but mainly in Canada and the U.S.
The company is also believed to have offices outside B.C.
