Report Fraud
Fraudsters can get to anyone, anywhere, at any time.

If you or someone you know is a victim of fraud, a scam or cybercrime, please contact your local police as soon as possible. 

In addition to calling the police we also recommend that you report the incident to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC). This report can be done online or by calling the toll-free line at 1-888-495-8501.
