Why smart people are still falling for scams?

🚨 Fraud isn’t just a senior issue—it’s everyone’s issue.

On Global News National’s The Morning Show, I shared why smart, capable people are still falling for scams—and what you can do to stay protected.

Canadians reported over $648 million in losses last year alone. But experts estimate that only 5% of fraud cases ever get reported. The real toll is much higher—financially and emotionally.

Scammers are sophisticated. They exploit fear, urgency, and trust—often impersonating authority figures or loved ones.

đź’ˇ Want to scam-proof your finances? Start with these simple habits:

• Set up bank alerts for unusual activity
• Check your credit report at least once a year
• Use credit cards, not debit, for better fraud protection
• Enable 2-step verification on all your accounts
