Multiple charges have been laid against three suspects after a Markham business allegedly discovered fraudulent invoices last year worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In a release on Tuesday, York police said between January 9, 2025, and September 12, 2025, a suspect worked at a Markham business as a senior manager.
After the suspect was terminated from the company, police said the business found “fraudulent invoices for services which had not been rendered.” Police said those invoices totalled more than $360,000.
Investigators determined that the invoices had been paid to companies connected to two additional suspects.
Jennifer Hossain, 36, of Toronto, has been charged with two counts each of fraud over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, and laundering proceeds of crime.
Police believe she may be responsible for additional fraud-related incidents that have not yet been reported and are asking anyone who may have employed Hossain to come forward.
Also facing multiple fraud-related charges are 42-year-old Foysol Ahmed and 64-year-old Forida Akhter, both of Toronto.
Anyone with information is asked to call York police at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7541, or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
