A Brampton man has been charged with fraud for the second time in two years and police believe more woman may have been victimized in what is known as a “spiritual scam.”

Peel police say a man met a woman last August at a local plaza and told her he would be able to double her money if she invested in him.

He then obtained more than $74,000 from her, along with jewelry. After not receiving anything in return, she phoned police. The man was arrested Wednesday, June 27.

Police believe the same man used a similar scam in summer 2016.

He told a Brampton woman he won the lottery, and that he “had a lot of good luck as he was very close to God,” said police.

Police say the woman gave the man a large amount of money, and, later, jewelry.

Investigators have accused the man of claiming that the money would be buried and he would then pray to remove evil spirits which were also contained in the jewelry. The money and jewelry would then be returned to her.

Police say the two met in July 2016, and when the woman did not get her money or jewelry back, she called police.

Darshan Dhaliwal, 42, is charged with fraud over $5,000 in the August incident and was charged with fraud over $5,000 in the 2016 incident.

He won $1 million playing the LOTTO MAXMILLIONS draw in 2012.
