Discover how our presentations can make a difference in your life and your community.

Through engaging sessions packed with real-world examples and actionable tips, we’ll teach you how to recognize the latest scams, avoid common traps, and safeguard your personal information.

Fraud is the fastest growing crime in Canada, and it’s difficult to stay on top of the latest schemes that are rampant online and in our community. The fraudsters are technologically savvy and convincing, tempting you online, on your phone, in your mailbox and at your door.

Seniors are a popular target but fraudsters target all ages, including teenagers. Today’s teens are more connected than ever, constantly exploring social media, online shopping, and virtual interactions. However, with this access comes significant risk, as cybercriminals increasingly target children who may be unprepared to detect scams. Online predators take advantage of teenagers’ trust, curiosity, and inexperience, causing both emotional and financial harm.

We all need to learn how to spot the scams and recognize the red flags to keep from becoming a victim. Know the steps to take if you have been victimized. Education on fraud tactics is critical to help us keep our families and communities safe.
