Scams And Frauds 2019 - Preeceville's Main Street with the Mayor Garth Harris for Thursday January 17th, 2019 8:35 am


Working Draft for:

This week we focus on: Scams And Frauds

Scams And Frauds Targeting Saskatchewan Residents

Released on January 14, 2019

"The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA) and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) want to warn residents about common frauds and scams that are occurring in Saskatchewan.

“We are partnering with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre because we have common concerns about frauds happening in the province,” Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority Director of Securities Dean Murrison said.

The most prominent frauds and scams in Saskatchewan by complaint are:

  • Phishing – Any email falsely claiming to be an established legitimate organization such as a financial institution, business or government agency in an attempt to have the consumer give private and personal information.
  • Service scam – Any false, deceptive or misleading promotion of or solicitation for services.  These solicitations involve third parties that commonly make offers for telecommunications, and internet finance services.
  • Prize scam – Any false, deceptive or misleading solicitation advising victims they have won or have a chance to win something, but are required to purchase something first or pay an advance fee, such as taxes, to receive the prize.
  • Sale of fraudulent securities – Sale of investments that do not exist.
  • Recovery scam – A victim who lost money in a previous scam, is approached by someone claiming to work for a government agency, private company or consumer organization and told that they can help recover the lost money for a fee.
  • Extortion – Any person who unlawfully obtains money, property or services from a person, entity or institution, through coercion.

How to protect yourself:

  • Be very cautious when speaking to people on the phone you do not know.
  • If someone emails, texts or calls asking for personal or banking information, do not provide the information.
  • Never wire money to a stranger.
  • Never make a cheque payable to a financial advisor personally or to a financial advisor’s personal company, it should only be payable to the registered dealer or issuer of the securities.
  • If someone contacts you about an investment opportunity, contact a professional adviser.
  • If you are investing money, check and make sure the person you are sending money to is a registered professional (http://aretheyregistered.ca/) with the Canadian Securities Administrators.

Who to contact:

If you suspect that you may be the target of a scam or fraud, you can contact the Anti-Fraud Centre toll free at 1-888-495-8501 or online at www.antifraudcentre.ca.

If you suspect you may have been a target of investment fraud, contact FCAA’s Securities Division at 306-787-5645.
For more information about investment fraud visit http://fcaa.gov.sk.ca/consumers-investors-pension-plan-members/investors/investment-fraud.

CAFC is the central agency in Canada that collects information and criminal intelligence on such matters as mass marketing fraud (e.g., telemarketing), advance fee fraud (e.g., West African letters), Internet fraud and identification theft complaints."

For more information, contact:

Shannon McMillan, Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority, Regina
Phone: 306-798-4160  Email: shannon.mcmillan@gov.sk.ca

Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre
Phone: 705-499-4572
Email: media@antifraudcentre.ca  

Are you a victim?

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre estimates that less than 5% of mass marketing fraud is ever reported. Follow these steps if you have been defrauded.


What to do if you're a victim
Step 1: Gather all information about the fraud. This includes documents, receipts, copies of emails and/or text messages.
Step 2: Report the incident to your local law enforcement. This ensures that your police of jurisdiction is aware of what scams are targeting their residents and businesses. Keep a log of all your calls and record all file or occurrence numbers.
Step 3: Contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre toll free at 1-888-495-8501 or through the Fraud Reporting System (FRS).
Step 4: Report the incident to the financial institution where the money was sent (e.g., money service business such as Western Union or MoneyGram, bank or credit union, credit card company or internet payment service provider).
Step 5: If the fraud took place online through Facebook, eBay, a classified ad such as Kijiji or a dating website, be sure to report the incident directly to the website. These details can be found under "report abuse" or "report an ad."
Step 6: Victims of identity fraud should place flags on all their accounts and report to both credit bureaus, Equifax and TransUnion.
How to protect yourself…and others
  • Beware of Recovery Scams. Victims of fraud are often targeted a second or third time with the promise of recovering money previously lost. Always do your due diligence and never send money to recover money.
  • Stay current. Advise the CAFC, financial institutions and law enforcement of any updates.
  • Be pro-active. Educate family, friends, neighbours and co-workers on mass marketing frauds. You may prevent someone else from becoming a victim.
