Did you know that 49 per cent of Canadians have reported being the target of a recent fraud scheme? Today on episode #353 of “Let’s Talk Money with Dave and Reb”, the co-hosts discuss the issue to raise awareness about how prevalent they are. From identity theft and debit-credit card fraud, to online, door-to-door and phone scams, Canadians are being targeted.
“Fraud comes to us uninvited,” Dave says. “So, we need to learn and prepare ourselves as best we can so we keep ourselves from trouble.”
