Frauds & Scams

-
Bob Harkins Branch

In 2025, Canadians lost over $704 million to fraud, with technology such as AI providing fraudsters with powerful tools to create highly convincing impersonations and deceptive marketing schemes. This presentation introduces what frauds and scams are, common methods and schemes targeting Canadian seniors, safety strategies, and resources to consult if you or someone you know has been affected by frauds/scams. 

In partnership with Senior First BC.

This event will also be livestreamed on Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/yMQpe-NcRsOkZaAQ4jz_mA
