Fraud prevention for seniors (video)

Fraud is the number one crime against older Canadians. Though people of all ages can be victims of fraud, older people get targeted more than others. Some of the reasons are that they are often home during the day to answer the door or phone, they can be more trusting and they may not have family or friends close by to ask for a second opinion.

Con artists don't just target people who have a lot of money. A con artist may steal a small amount from many people. They use a variety of ways to reach people, including the Internet, phone calls and even door-to-door visits.

Fraud Prevention for Seniors is a 35-minute video by Liane Clark on what fraud is, how it works, why seniors are vulnerable, and what to do if you are a victim of fraud.
