The Toronto District School Board was duped into sending $1 million to fraudster who ‘can barely spell’
The Toronto District School Board is trying to recoup more than $1 million in public funds it lost in a cyberscam that experts say was “highly preventable.”
The public school board says a fraudster represented themselves as a long-time contractor for school renewal projects and tricked the TDSB into wiring $1.08 million to a Toronto-Dominion Bank account.
The TDSB has not publicly disclosed the 2024 fraud, which the Star discovered in reviewing court records.
