This episode of TIPS is dedicated to educating Canadians about the growing threat of fraud and the tactics scammers use to target victims. Host Julia Vellucci is joined by two experts on this very topic: Jeff Horncastle, the client and communications outreach officer for the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and Andrew Dickson, the director of financial education, research and fraud prevention at the Canadian Bankers Association. Together, they explore how fraudsters manipulate victims using trust, urgency, and emotion, why anyone can be targeted, and the psychology behind some of the most common scams affecting Canadians today. The conversation also highlights key warning signs to watch for and practical steps individuals can take to protect themselves in an increasingly digital world. Fraud is constantly evolving but awareness remains one of the most powerful tools we have to prevent it. Stay informed. Stay alert. And help stop fraud before it happens.
