(CALEDON, ON) - Members from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have laid charges against an individual following an investigation into a fraud incident.

On October 21, 2025, officers from the Caledon OPP received a fraud report from a Caledon-based corporation. The complainant reported that they received a fraudulent phishing email, which resulted in the loss of nearly $300,000.

Detectives from the Caledon Major Crime Unit (MCU) assisted with the investigation which ultimately revealed the suspect behind the fraudulent phishing scheme.

As a result, Jeyarajah VALLIPURAM, 67, of Montreal, Quebec, was charged with:

  • Fraud over $5000 - two counts
  • Possession of property obtained by crime - two counts
  • Laundering proceeds of crime

The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on May 14, 2026, to answer to the charges.
