Ontario reports describe itinerant promoters defrauding merchants with fake advertising schemes. In Oshawa a man was found guilty on five counts and jailed eight months for a project to publish a church endorsed booklet that never appeared after collecting payments. Other communities in Ontario and Quebec report similar cases as the scam expands. Merchants are urged to refuse doubtful offers and preserve legitimacy by dealing only with trusted publications.
