Calgary police are asking anyone who thinks they may have been caught in a vehicle\u2011resale scam to come forward as they look for the suspect believed to be responsible.<\/p>\n

Calgary police investigators began looking into claims that the mileage on a vehicle had been changed before it was sold to an unsuspecting buyer in March 2026.<\/p>\n

In that case, someone bought a 2012 Honda CR\u2011V advertised on Facebook Marketplace.<\/p>\n

Police say the seller gave the buyer a Carfax report showing the vehicle had about 169,000 kilometres. The buyer obtained a new Carfax report after the sale and learned the vehicle\u2019s last recorded mileage was actually more than 316,000 kilometres. <\/p>\n

The buyer also found out the insurance documents provided during the sale were not valid.<\/p>\n

Police believe a suspect bought high\u2011mileage vehicles, altered the records, and resold them while misrepresenting their condition and value.<\/p>\n

Investigators identified a man who they believe used the name \u201cZybszek Zebrowski\u201d while selling the vehicle. Evidence linked the suspect to a home on Creekstone Drive SW in the community of Pine Creek.<\/p>\n

Officers executed a search warrant on June 20 and seized fake ID documents, completed bills of sale, cash, and various vehicle\u2011sale paperwork.<\/p>\n

Police have now issued a warrant for 27\u2011year\u2011old Ivan Kamyshanskyi for fraud over $5,000, false pretence over $5,000, and uttering a forged document (two counts).<\/p>\n

Anyone who knows where the suspect is, or believes they may have been victimized, is asked to call police at 403\u2011266\u20111234. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers.<\/p>\n
