March is Fraud Prevention Month!

The theme for 19th edition of Fraud Prevention Month is “Tricks of the trade: What’s in a fraudster’s toolbox?”.  This year’s campaign will expose fraudsters’ tricks, tools and tactics, to help equip Canadians their own toolbox to protect themselves.

Education and awareness are the strongest line of defence against fraud.

Join EAPO, CNPEA and our partner the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) as we host an informative educational event for seniors, caregivers, and those working with older adults about the latest Frauds and Scams targeting seniors and how you can play a role to help stop fraudsters. Through highlighting stories of people who have become victims of fraud and scams, participants will be introduced to the different tactics and scams that older adults are falling prey to in Ontario.

Detective Constable John Armit of the Economic Crimes and Corruption Unit (ECCU – Ottawa), Anti-Rackets Branch (ARB), OPP along with OPP Constables Erin Fraser and Lisa Cruz from the Crime Prevention team at Ontario’s Serious Fraud Office will share prevention tips on how to recognize, reject and report fraud and provide participants with resources and supports.
