    OPP and CAFC Partner with Bulletin with More Information about Holiday Frauds

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    (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.

    Please see the attached file prepared by the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre raising awareness of the ever increasing number of Holiday Frauds – simply titled HOLIDAY FRAUD ALERT

    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.
