Online fraud isn’t just a nuisance — it’s a global criminal industry stealing billions from Canadians each year. Detective Dave Coffey explains how AI has supercharged scams and why the most dangerous ones now look completely legit.

From tax “loophole” cons to phishing emails that know your name, address, and banking info, this episode uncovers the new frontier of fraud. Dave reveals staggering numbers from Toronto alone, breaks down how scammers weaponize AI and stolen data, and shares what local police can — and can’t — do.

Learn how the rules have changed, what red flags to look for, and why no one is truly “too smart” to be scammed.
