Canadian Cancer Treatment Scam Has Charges Laid

A Canadian cancer treatment scam, operating from the B.C. Okanagan, and then moving to Mexico, finally has had charges laid against two propreitors.

Agencies from Canada, (Competition Bureau), the U.S., (Federal Trade Commission), and Mexico have all spent time on curtailing this operation, which first came to the attention of the enforcement world in Janaury 2003.

We, at Rainbow Investigations, of course, believe health fraud on very serious illness' is one of the most despictable forms of fraud anywhere. While we still don't think that Canada takes this type of mis-deception serious enough, we are delighted that at least the Competition Bureau is providing some investigative and enforcement work on these issues. But we still need more resources, and more commitment on these issues. The fraudsters are still winning!
