We have charged two people in connection with a series of frauds involving investment opportunities, university admission, immigration services and loans.

Between February 2021 and June 2023, it is believed the suspects obtained approximately $1 million from multiple victims through several fraudulent schemes.

Investigators believe victims were persuaded to provide money based on claims involving profitable investments, assistance securing admission to prestigious universities and the ability to facilitate Canadian immigration.

Yun HUA, who also goes by Coco HUA, 51, is charged with two counts of fraud over $5,000.
