Fraud is the #1 crime targeting older Canadians. While anyone can fall victim, seniors are often at higher risk—especially when it comes to online scams. In 2024 alone, Canadians lost a staggering $638 million to fraud, according to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

Cybercriminals use social engineering—scare tactics designed to manipulate people into revealing personal information. That’s why it’s crucial to pause, verify, and think before clicking!

At JFSC, we’re committed to empowering older adults through our Tech Safe program, equipping them with the skills and confidence to navigate technology safely and spot scams before they happen.
