Update: Photo of Second Person Charged in Music and Sporting Ticket Event Fraud
Region of Peel – Peel Regional Police are releasing the photo of the second person charged, Jordan Cordeiro, who was involved in an advance fee scam in relation to the fraudulent sale of music and sporting event tickets in the Greater Toronto Area between 2022 and 2024.
In February 2024, a comprehensive investigation commenced after multiple fraud reports were received involving Jaspal Thiara, a 37-year-old resident of Toronto, and Jordan Cordeiro, a 29-year-old resident of Mississauga. It is alleged that these persons solicited numerous individuals through personal relationships and social media. After the victims paid Jaspal Thiara and Jordan Cordeiro for the concert tickets, they received emails and receipts disguised as being from legitimate and reputable ticket sales companies.
Investigators believe the victims in these incidents are at a financial loss of over $100,000.
Investigators believe there may be additional victims. To view a photo of Jaspal Thiara and Jordan Cordeiro, please visit our website .
Peel Regional Police would like to share the following tips when considering purchasing event tickets:
Buy from reputable sources: We encourage members of the public to buy from official ticket sellers or trusted resale platforms. Verify authenticity: Double-check ticket details by verifying through the official website or calling the organizer directly. Payment platform: Ensure you are transacting on the correct payment platform. Beware of pop-up ads! If you see suspicious activity on social media, report it to the platform or the appropriate authorities. If the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Investigators believe that additional victims may exist. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Fraud Bureau at 905-453–2121, ext. 3335, or the Officer in Charge of the investigation, Detective Constable Houlihan, at ext. 3365. Information may also be left anonymously by calling Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or visiting peelcrimestoppers.ca.
