The RCMP’s Fraud prevention division reported over 500 million dollars was lost to fraud across the country in 2022, a trend that is continuing this year.

The Canadian Anti Fraud Center is working to alleviate the stress this has on the system.

A new government portal website has been set up to report suspected fraud.

The RCMP say the goal is to gain trust with the public by providing transparency and information to citizens knowing that community input is the best means of preventing fraud.
