The OPP, Anti-Rackets Branch, Serious Fraud Office Ontario and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre are launching their annual Fraud Prevention Month campaign.
During the month of March, fraud is at its usual highest with CRA scams as Canadians start completing their income tax.
Last year the anti-fraud centre received just under 20,000 fraud reports from 9858 Ontario victims who reported losing around $47 million to fraudsters.
If you have fallen victim to a scam or know someone who has you are asked to contact your local police branch and call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.
