Fraud for the Holidays

RECOVERING POLITICIANS
It’s time for our Recovering Politicians panel, and a lot has happened in the last 24 hours!
Yesterday, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh announced that if they don’t see some action from the federal government to address the national health-care crisis, the New Democrats are ready to withdraw from the confidence-and-supply agreement they signed with the Liberals.
Meanwhile, in the first contest under the Conservative leadership of Pierre Poilievre, the Liberals declare victory in the Mississauga-Lakeshore federal byelection with the election of former Ontario finance minister Charles Sousa.
Libby Znaimer is joined by Former Ontario NDP MPP Cheri DiNovo; Former Ontario Liberal MPP Gerard Kennedy; and Former Ontario PC MPP Janet Ecker to discuss these matters.
FRAUD FOR THE HOLIDAYS
With the holidays just around the corner, there seems to be an uptick in scam activity in the form of texts, emails and phone calls.
And amid this season for shopping, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre says that over 21-point-1-million dollars in losses were reported last year (2021) relating to frauds associated with buying or selling goods or services online.
Their website lists different kinds of ads being used to scam people, including: classified ads sites…resale sites…website pop-ups and fake company websites.
Items offered for sale in these scams can be almost anything, including: event tickets…puppies…electronic equipment…clothing…apartment, cottage, or vacation rentals and even motor vehicles.
According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre’s website…“A good rule of thumb: if the asking price of a product is too good to be true, it is,”.
Libby Znaimer is joined by Jeff Horncastle, Acting Client and Communications Outreach Officer at the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre; and Carmi Levy, a technology analyst and journalist based in London, Ontario; and Detective David Coffey with the Toronto Police Service's Financial Crimes Unit, to discuss the troubling issue of fraud for the holidays.
CHARLES SOUSA JOINS FIGHT BACK!
Libby Znaimer is joined by MP-Elect for Mississauga-Lakeshore Charles Sousa, to discuss his Liberal party victory in yesterday’s Mississauga-Lakeshore federal byelection.
