Report a Suspected Online Scam

If you believe you have been affected by online fraud, you may submit your information for an initial case assessment. Our team reviews the details provided and offers guidance on appropriate reporting procedures, documentation preparation, and the next steps that may be available through financial institutions, cryptocurrency exchanges, or relevant authorities.

Providing accurate information allows us to better understand the circumstances of your case and determine whether it falls within the scope of our fraud reporting and documentation support services.


Types of Cases We Review

Investments with Unregulated Trading Platforms

Cases involving investment platforms that are not registered with the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) or provincial securities regulators such as the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC).

Unregistered platforms often operate without regulatory oversight and may engage in misleading or fraudulent investment activities.

High-Yield Investment / Trading Scams

Fraudsters promote guaranteed or unusually high returns with little or no risk.

These schemes often use fake trading dashboards, mobile apps, or websites that display fabricated profits to encourage victims to invest additional funds. 

AI-Generated Deepfake Scams

Scammers use AI-generated audio or video to impersonate trusted individuals such as:

  • Family members
  • CEOs or executives
  • Public figures or influencers

These highly realistic forgeries are used to convince victims to send cryptocurrency, transfer funds, or disclose sensitive information.

Unsolicited Cryptocurrency Investment Offers

Fraudulent investment opportunities commonly originate from:

  • Social media platforms
  • Dating apps
  • Online forums
  • Advertisements
  • Messaging apps such as Telegram, WhatsApp, or Signal

These unsolicited offers typically attempt to persuade individuals to invest in unverified or fictitious crypto investment programs.

Remote Access Investment Scams

Fraudsters may request remote access to your computer to assist with opening exchange accounts or transferring cryptocurrency.

Common tactics include asking victims to install remote access software such as:

  • AnyDesk
  • TeamViewer

Once access is granted, scammers can steal login credentials, banking information, and digital assets.

Cryptocurrency ATM Scams

Victims are instructed to deposit funds into cryptocurrency ATMs under false pretenses, often by individuals posing as:

  • Technical support agents
  • Government officials
  • Law enforcement

These transactions are irreversible and difficult to trace.

Recovery Scams

Fraudsters claim they can recover funds lost in a previous scam in exchange for an upfront fee.

In most cases, these services are fraudulent and lead to additional financial losses.
