A Canadian drug dealer was busted for allegedly offering his customers “free samples” of cocaine stapled to the back of his business cards, local authorities shared on Wednesday.

The City of Calgary shared the news in a press release, noting that Seyyed Amir Razavi, 303, was allegedly caught on Saturday with more than 50 dime bags of portioned drugs and a box of business cards made under the alias “Alex Lee.”

Cops have been searching for Lee since Christmas Eve, when they were notified about a man who offered cocaine samples to gamblers outside a casino in downtown Calgary.

After six weeks of investigating, police were able to gather enough evidence to track down and arrest Razavi during a traffic stop.

Officers then executed a search warrant at his nearby home, where they allegedly found almost 60 grams of cocaine in dozens of baggies and the business cards.

Razavi has since been charged with two counts of trafficking a controlled substance, one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking, and three counts of possession of proceeds of crime under $5,000.
