RCMP advise of ghost broker scam

Alberta RCMP warns about ghost brokers, fraudulent individuals pretending to sell non-existent insurance. A recent Ponoka incident revealed a victim who had unknowingly purchased a fake policy from a non-existent company. Red flags include offers that seem too good, lack of physical presence, and cash-only payments. Always verify brokers’ licenses.
