Online fraud
Phishing links, fake stores, and copycat sites that steal logins or drain accounts are among the most common frauds we see. If you lost funds in Canada, we can review what happened and whether tracing is still realistic.
Online scams often start with a message that looks legitimate — a bank alert, a delivery notice, or a too-good discount. One click can hand over credentials or install software that empties accounts.
Save headers, URLs, and full message threads before they disappear. Screenshots of your banking app showing unauthorized transfers help us build a timeline.
Practical steps for Canadians — not legal advice. Outcomes vary; see our disclaimer.
Phishing emails and SMS messages impersonate banks, CRA, couriers, or Amazon. Fake e-commerce stores capture card data; malware steals session cookies from browsers.
Victims across Canada lose money through unauthorized e-transfers, wire fraud, and account takeovers. Document every URL and the exact time you clicked or paid.
Call your bank's fraud line and change passwords from a clean device. Enable two-factor authentication on email and banking.
Preserve headers from suspicious emails (.eml files if possible). Screenshot merchant pages and chat with 'support' before sites go offline.
We map payment flows and digital footprints, prepare timelines for disputes, and advise whether professional tracing is worthwhile.
