OPP AND CAFC PARTNER TO RAISE AWARENESS OF FIXED INCOME INVESTMENT FRAUD

OPP AND CAFC PARTNER TO RAISE AWARENESS OF FIXED INCOME INVESTMENT FRAUD

(MIDLAND,ON)- Members of the Southern Georgian Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) are continuing to raise the awareness for North Simcoe residents of the various scams that they may encounter on the telephone or online.

The Canadian Anti‐Fraud Centre is receiving reports from Canadian based insurance companies and financial institutions about brand spoofing fixed income investment fraud. Reporting suggests this is part of a broader scam using multiple well-known company names and targeting investors across Canada.

 This fraud involves Canadians receiving fraudulent offers that appear to come from the actual companies offering higher than normal returns on fixed income investment products such as Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GIC) and saving bonds. Typically, these offers materialize after a consumer searches for an investment opportunity online and enters their information into an “investment finder” type ad. Consumer will then receive calls from the fraudulent operators claiming to be a legitimate company and offering a high return fixed income opportunity. (See attached submitted CAFC prepared article)

 No matter your level of cyber fitness, fraudsters will stop at nothing to steal from their victims. Your best protection against cyber threats is to learn more about them and the simple steps you can take to protect yourself. 

To learn more about common tactics used by cyber criminals, explore the Fraudster’s toolbox infographic 

Anyone who suspects they have been the victim of cybercrime or fraud should report it to their local police and to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre’s online reporting system or by phone at 1-888-495-8501. If not a victim, report it to the CAFC anyway.

A SAFE SNOWMOBILE SEASON COMES DOWN TO RISK-FREE RIDING

A SAFE SNOWMOBILE SEASON COMES DOWN TO RISK-FREE RIDING

(ORILLIA, ON) – Ahead of Ontario Snowmobile Safety Week, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) are reminding snowmobilers that making each ride risk-free gives them their best chance of safely making it through the season.

The risky driving behaviours that lead to snowmobile fatalities are the same ones year after year, as reflected in the OPP’s data.

Over the past 10 snowmobile seasons (2014/15 to 2023/24),145 snowmobilers have lost their lives in OPP jurisdictions. Excessive speed, in particular driving too fast for the conditions, as well as alcohol impairment were among the leading causes or contributing factors in the fatalities. Driver inattention and lack of helmet use are among other factors that have cost snowmobilers their lives in the last decade.

Every year, snowmobilers take unnecessary risks on frozen waterways. With close to 40 per cent of the 145 fatalities occurring on frozen lakes and rivers, these locations account for the highest number of snowmobile deaths.

Riders are reminded that frozen lakes and rivers carry an inherent degree of uncertainty about how safe they are and the only way to ensure one’s safety is to avoid frozen waterways altogether.

Thanks to the hard work and commitment on the part of OFSC Snowmobile Clubs, Ontario snowmobilers have access to an expansive network of trails. Through the OFSC Interactive Trail Guide (ITG), riders can obtain real-time trail status information to help them choose a safe, enjoyable trail for their next riding adventure.

Snowmobilers are reminded that it’s against the law to access and ride on OFSC trails that are unavailable (all those highlighted in red on the ITG).

With Ontario Snowmobile Safety Week running from February 10 to 17, 2025, riders are encouraged to get up to date on what they need to do to keep themselves, their passengers and fellow riders safe throughout the season.

DID YOU KNOW?

  • In addition to road and marine patrol, the OPP conducts patrols by snowmobile and off-road vehicle throughout the province.
  • OPP Snowmobile, ATV and Vessel Enforcement (S.A.V.E.) Teams are mobile, four-season teams that target high-risk operator behaviours on trails and waterways, as part of their efforts to reduce the risk of collisions, fatalities and injuries.

Connie Riet: Why I’m Starting Over at 50 – Life Reset in a New Country

Starting over again at 50 was not in my plans, but sometimes it’s necessary to reinvent yourself.

There are many things I wish I knew before leaving the United States and traveling full-time abroad. At the time, moving from America and becoming an expat was a good decision.

After two years, it’s time for another life reset and change my life. I’ve decided to move abroad to Europe at 50. It’s never too late to start over and find your purpose, at any age 40, 50, 60, or older.
