As consumers, businesses and ordinary citizens, we won’t ever fully stamp out fraud. We can, however, take steps to better protect ourselves. Fraud Prevention Month is about just that.

At the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, we encourage you to explore this site for helpful tips and ideas.
