When an individual finds that they have become a victim of a fraudulent act or a scam there is embarrassment and shame and often significant loss.

All too often the victim decides not to inform the police. There are very good reasons to keep the police in the loop.

Crime stoppers logoTowards that end the Halton Crime Stoppers, in partnership with the Halton Regional Police Service, will be hosting a free information session on Frauds and Scams on March 12, 2020.

March is Fraud Prevention Month and Crime Stoppers of Halton and Halton Regional Police Service know that information is the key to preventing these types of crimes.

Recognize, reject and report fraud!
The free Frauds and Scams seminar will take place at the Halton Regional Police Headquarters, Community Room, from 11:00AM – 1:00PM, on Thursday March 12, 2020.

Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Registration and information can be found at www.eventbrite.ca/e/fraud-awareness-seminar-tickets-92725680005

    Hi there, I have reported a fraud done to me and my business to the police at the 30 Division on Walker’s Line in Burlington, and they never followed up. They have never replied to my many phone calls ignoring me. Is this the protection we have to expect from our city police? I demand justice!
