Investment fraud is the top loss category tracked by CAFC. Reported losses last year exceeded three hundred million. CAFC estimates only one in twenty cases is ever filed — the real damage runs far higher. A DNS blocker refuses lookalike trading sites. scammerdefence.ca

My aunt in Halifax got a text last week. Canada Post said a parcel was held and asked for two dollars in fees. The link looked right. She checked the tracking number on the real Canada Post site first. There was no such parcel. A DNS blocker stops the page before the tap.

Reported fraud in Canada hit 638 million dollars last year per the CAFC. Only about one in ten cases gets reported, so real losses are several times higher. Most starts with a text or call sending someone to a lookalike page. A DNS blocker stops the page before the tap matters.

Three scams run the same playbook in Canada right now: the CRA warrant call, the Service Canada SIN call, the bank fraud-department call. Each wants a decision in ten minutes. Ask why a real institution would need a decision in ten minutes when their paperwork takes weeks.

A friend in Mississauga lost twenty thousand last month. A text came in claiming to be her son, new phone, save this number. Two days later it asked her to e-transfer rent. The real son never changed phones. Call back on the old number first.

Investment fraud is the largest dollar-loss category CAFC tracks in Canada, bigger than romance and emergency scams combined. Most starts as a friendly WhatsApp or text intro. A DNS blocker stops the fake trading platforms before the page loads on the phone.

Family quick-check this week. A voicemail claims to be the CRA and says a warrant is out for unpaid taxes. Real CRA never threatens arrest by phone. Hang up. A DNS blocker stops the lookalike portal the call sends people to before the page loads.
