The Réseau FADOQ marks the start of the 20th edition of Fraud Prevention Month, an education and awareness campaign aimed at helping Canadians detect, prevent, and report fraud. |
“Fraud is a criminal act in which a person, through deception, lies, or other means, obtains goods, services, or money from another person.” (Sûreté du Québec)
Since 2010, the Réseau FADOQ has taken concrete action to prevent fraud against seniors, particularly through the Aîné-Avisé program, conducted in partnership with the Sûreté du Québec and the CIUSSS du Centre-Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal. By presenting short videos on key fraud and elder abuse concepts, the program’s information sessions aim to encourage discussion and reflection from a prevention perspective.
To learn more about the program, visit the Aîné-Avisé website.
The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre reports that Quebecers over 60 lost more than $16.8 million to fraudsters, an increase of over 35% compared to the previous year.
