Scams aimed at seniors

It's not always easy to spot phone scams, and new ones are invented every day.
If you suspect you may be a target of phone fraud, or if you have already sent funds, don't be embarrassed - you're not alone.

Phonebusters is the Canadian national deceptive telemarketing call centre, operated by the Ontario Provincial Police.

Seniorbusters is a group of volunteers who work with Phonebusters to provide telephone support and information to seniors who have become victims of this crime.

If you want to report a fraud or if you need more information, contact Phonebusters or Seniorbusters.
