Alberta RCMP talk fraud prevention month

This March, Alberta RCMP will be sharing safety tips and tools in support of the Alberta Community Crime Prevention Association’s (ACCPA) fraud prevention month.

Each year, ACCPA uses the campaign to educate Albertans on the ways in which fraudulent activity directly impacts their communities. The RCMP encourages the public to follow the hashtag #FPM2022 on social media for fraud prevention information and resources all month long.

For 2022, ACCPA, along with supporting agencies including the RCMP, will cover the following topics so Albertans can learn how to best prevent themselves from falling victim to a scam:

• Cryptocurrency scams
• Identity theft
• Online scams
• Business fraud and scams
• Mass marketing and phone scams
