When VPD Sgt Rita Raj, Det/Cst.Julie Gilmore and Cst. Rob Dairon noticed a troubling rise in financial scams targeting seniors, they knew something had to be done. Thanks to our generous donors, we were able to fund their idea: Scam Prevention for Seniors Seminars—educating seniors and their families on how to recognize and avoid fraud.
A recent victim of a “clickbait” scam, Shauna shared her story at a seminar she organized for friends and neighbours and she bravely agreed to share her story with you.
