On average, seniors lose 33 per cent more than other demographics, accounting for more than $138M in 2022
June is Seniors Month in Ontario and the 2023 theme is Working for Seniors.
The Ontario Provincial Police would like to raise awareness about frauds that target Ontario seniors who have spent their entire life saving funds for their golden years. The OPP asks that we work collectively at sharing important fraud prevention tips with seniors in your life. Being able to recognize frauds targeting seniors will go a long way in helping to combat cyber enabled frauds.
With the public’s help we want to deliver information, tips and strategies for Ontario’s seniors. In 2022, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre received fraud reports totalling a staggering $531 million in victim losses. A devastating $138 million in losses were reported by senior victims. According to the CAFC, seniors lose on average 33 per cent more than other demographics. It is estimated that only five to 10 per cent of victims report scams and frauds to the CAFC or law enforcement.
