More than 270 people who opened tolling accounts for the new Port Mann Bridge should expect letters in the mail this week warning their personal information--including credit cards--may have been compromised.
Mike Proudfoot, CEO of the Transportation Investment Corporation says an employee provided false identification during the hiring process.
"What I can tell you at this time is the individual is not who he claimed to be when he was hired. It's a criminal matter and it has been referred to the RCMP."
The man was fired and arrested at the call centre.
Proudfoot says the letters are precautionary and there's no evidence customer information was compromised.
The 271 customers receiving letters created or updated accounts with the man over the phone.
