The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) is warning the public about ongoing frauds involving the compromise of online accounts through the misuse of one-time passcodes (OTPs). Fraudsters are finding new ways to access online accounts, including on social media platforms such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Snapchat and WhatsApp, as well as email, banking platforms, and online telephone accounts. In many cases, perpetrators will initiate a login attempt using your phone number or email address. This triggers a legitimate one-time passcode to be sent to you. The perpetrator will then contact you often impersonating a trusted organization, service provider, or even someone you know and request that you share the code. Once the OTP is shared, fraudsters can take control of your account, lock you out, and use your identity to target your contacts or commit further fraud.

💔Every year around Valentine’s Day, fraudsters target unsuspecting victims who are looking for love and/or companionship. Relationship fraud happens when no one is looking. It occurs on dating websites, social media and through wrong number text messages known as conversational attacks. The fraudster’s primary goal is to escalate initial communications into a trusting relationship. This can include professions of love, offers of support, financial advice or other emotional lures. Understanding how these frauds operate and knowing the common red flags is key to protecting yourself and others.

🚨FRAUD ALERT! Fraudsters are creating fake social media ads and posts claiming to be @rcmpgrcpolice , FINTRAC, @JusticeCanadaEN or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. These posts appear as though it is a survey coming from the Government with a link to click and may also promise to help recover lost fund. If you click the link, you risk exposing your personal and financial information. You will not be taken to a Government of Canada website. Government of Canada agencies do not contact victims through social media ads or offer fund recovery services online. If you have already been affected by fraud, report it directly to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

January marks Crime Stoppers Month 2026, a time to highlight the vital role Crime Stoppers programs play in helping law enforcement prevent and solve crime across Canada. Crime Stoppers’ ongoing national slogan, “Say It Here,” underscores the importance of providing anonymous tip information that can assist police in identifying perpetrators of crime. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) is joining partners across the country to emphasize how crucial tip reporting is in the fight against fraud. Fraud networks are often sophisticated and far-reaching. While some operate internationally, many criminal groups have strong ties within Canada, recruiting local facilitators and using Canadian infrastructure such as phone numbers, bank accounts, and addresses to carry out their schemes.
