Newcomers to Canada targeted by online scams, study shows

From Global News.

It’s a scary truth, but more and more people are getting tricked by online scams. According to Statista, internet fraud has increased tremendously in the past decade, with over 43,000 cases reported in 2023.

“The fidelity of these attacks is going up and the skill level of fraudsters who perpetuate these attacks is also going up. They’re incredibly professional,” says technology analyst Carmi Levy.

Often, it’s people who need help with immigration or who are thinking of leaving the country who are targeted.
