STRIKE BACK AGAINST FRAUD
March is fraud prevention month and Canada’s federal, provincial and territorial privacy guardians and law enforcement groups are joining together in their respective roles to call for renewed efforts in the fight against frauds such as identity theft. Privacy Commissioner, Jennifer Stoddart, noted: “The theft of someone’s identity may be the ultimate invasion of privacy.” She commented that law enforcement agencies, governments and all organizations that collect and use personal information must all contribute to the search for identity theft solutions. “Whether it’s Internet or mail fraud, deceptive telemarketing or identity theft, fraud is a serious problem.” said Competition Commissioner, Sheridan Scott. Raf Souccar, RCMP Assistant Commissioner commented: “We also know that education just might be our single, strongest weapon against fraud.”

Throughout fraud prevention month, Forum members will participate in a number of activities across the country, including Scam-Jams, anti-fraud events hosted by Better Business Bureaus, and the second annual “Fraud Prevention Community Shred” a one-day shredding event in 20 cities across Canada on March 31.
