Despite nearly seven in 10 (69 per cent) Canadians believing they are familiar with the signs of fraud, only 36 per cent of respondents find scam attempts easy to spot.
Key Points:
- Despite nearly seven in 10 (69 per cent) Canadians believing they are familiar with the signs of fraud, only 36 per cent of respondents find scam attempts easy to spot.
- With this challenge in mind, Interac is stepping into the ring with Fraud Fighters, a fresh approach to fraud education.
- As fraud has become more complex and its indicators less obvious, awareness and education can often be the first line of defence for Canadians to stay vigilant in combatting fraud tactics and attempts.
- That's why I'm thrilled to partner with Interac for this one-of-a-kind program to co-host the Fraud Fighters classes and help participants better identify and prevent fraud year-round."
