Toronto Police are also searching for two other suspects.

Officers said a father and daughter received a call from a scammer pretending to be a bank representative on May 29, according to Toronto Police.

The man provided personal information when the fraudster told him his bank cards were compromised, and they needed to be closed.

A short time later, a man arrived at the victim’s residence in a black Tesla to pick up the bank cards.

When the father and daughter realized cash had been taken from their accounts, they called police.

Oluwayemisi Igbayilolaoluwa Odusi, 20, of Ottawa, and Myckala Jameisha Vaughn, 22 of Kawartha Lakes, faces charges including possession/use of a credit card obtained by crime.

Gary Jeremiah Williams, 20, of Toronto, was charged with two counts of fraud under $5,000 and two counts of possession of proceeds of crime, under $5000.
