March is Fraud Prevention Month

The Competition Bureau is launching the 7^th annual Fraud Prevention Month. Whether it's Internet or mail fraud, deceptive telemarketing or identity theft, fraud is a serious problem.

"By learning how to recognize a scam and report it, consumers and businesses can better protect themselves and assist us in combatting fraud," said Melanie Aitken, Commissioner of Competition. "We work with our partners in the Fraud Prevention Forum to educate Canadians during Fraud Prevention Month and throughout the year to combat fraudulent activity."
