Falling victim to financial fraud appears to be a growing concern for many Canadians .
In a recent survey done by The Professional Institute of Professional Accountants ,revealed a large majority of respondents (69%) as being more concerned about fraud than five years previously, with nearly half (46%) saying that they had fallen victim to fraud at some point during their lives.
Last year, Statistics Canada said the police had reported an increase in incidences of Cyber Crime across the country over the previous five years, from 24,000 in 2016, to 48,000 in 2019, and 63,000 in 2020.
