Why you should report fraud and cybercrime
In order for law enforcement to combat fraud and cybercrime, it is essential that those who experience, or fall victim, report it to local police and the CAFC. Local police are positioned to investigate the incident and the CAFC supports law enforcement by sharing information collected through the reports.
Reasons to report to the CAFC:
- Information could link a number of crimes together, in Canada and abroad
- Information could progress or complete an investigation
- Reports show crime trends and allows for crime forecasting
- It helps law enforcement, private and public sector, academia etc. to learn about the crimes and help with prevention and awareness efforts
