Be wary of a time crunch \u2014 it could be a red flag for fraud<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As much as people might think it could never happen to them, anyone can become a victim of fraud. All it takes is a fraudster targeting the right person, at the right time, with the right scam<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re talking about people whose full-time,\u00a0nine-to-five, 40-hour a week job is to defraud other people<\/q>\u00a0said Vanessa Iafolla, a fraud victim consultant and financial crime professor at Wilfrid Laurier University<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They know what’s happening. They know what the fraud landscape looks like. They know what kinds of current events or social events they can capitalize on<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, CBC Toronto’s investigative series, The Cost of Fraud, has dug into Ontario’s growing fraud problem by showing how\u00a0fewer reports are making it through the criminal system<\/a>, how even those that do end in conviction aren’t necessarily\u00a0helping victims or deterring fraudsters<\/a>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0and what\u00a0a specialized office is trying to do<\/a>\u00a0to help tackle the problem<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Fraud Awareness Month kicks off, this final chapter of the series gets a bit more practical by exploring some of the most prominent and emerging frauds reported in Ontario last year and providing tips to\u00a0help protect yourself from falling victim to them<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FRAUD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

8 hours agoDuration2:09In the final chapter of CBC Toronto’s investigative series, The Cost of Fraud, reporter Angelina King explores some of the most prominent frauds reported in Ontario last year and provides tips to help protect yourself from falling victim to them<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can’t arrest our way out of this<\/q>\u00a0said Det. Const. John Armit, from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fraud landscape is exploding.\u00a0We’ve seen a tsunami of what I call cyber-enabled frauds targeting really anyone and everyone<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take five minutes, tell two people <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Between his work with the OPP’s anti-rackets branch and a stint with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre,\u00a0Armit spends a lot of time dealing with, and talking about, fraud<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help protect yourself, he recommends an approach\u00a0he calls\u00a0take five, tell two<\/q>\u00a0If someone contacts you with a pitch, take five minutes to think about it, and then talk to two different people about it before doing anything<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We see success with that<\/q>\u00a0he saidDon’t share any information over the phone or text message or email\u00a0to people that you don’t know<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iafolla also says people should consider a sense of urgency a red flag<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re the person who’s holding the purse strings, the power is with you<\/q>\u00a0she saidThe second someone says don’t tell someone, or this has to happen now, that’s a good sign that you should tell everyone and that you should not do it immediately<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Canadians reported losing about $416 million to fraud, a 55 per cent jump from the previous record-high of nearly $269 million across the country in 2021, according to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. More than half of the losses in 2022 came from Ontario<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those figures are especially stark considering police estimate only five-to-10 per cent of frauds are ever reported<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crypto and grandparent scams on the rise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Ontario, investment scams accounted for the highest losses from victims last year, with $136.5 million reported. Armit says a big part of that involves a rise in cryptocurrency investment frauds in 2022. The scams involve fraudsters setting up fake cryptocurrency investment websites, which look real, and then enticing people to invest on social media<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’ll have a sales manager that will encourage you to invest more, and they’ll show you how much your investment has jumped. But these are all fake stats that they’re giving the victims<\/q>\u00a0said Armit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These people are losing on average $150,000 \u2014\u00a0it’s staggering<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grandparent scam is another emerging fraud concerning to Armit. It falls within the emergency scam category, which was within the highest reported losses\u00a0in Ontario last year<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fraudsters target the elderly via landlines pretending to be a relative or grandchild and say they need the grandparent’s help with bail money to get out of trouble. Then, Armit says, someone else pretends to be a police officer to tell the victim a courier is coming to pick up the money<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These couriers are attending these elderly victims’ homes, they’re handing over the cash. And what we see with most victims \u2014\u00a0especially seniors \u2014\u00a0is they’re going to be victimized perhaps two-to-three more times after that,<\/q>\u00a0Armit said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s very lucrative for the fraudsters, and it’s very devastating for the victims<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To stop that, and other frauds, Armit argues everyone has to work together<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has to be a partnership with the public, with the government, with law enforcement<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n
