Once they see strange activity on the CRA profile, they will send mail to your home address. They will never call to inform us about strange activities, that is one of the ways thefts can get victims. They scare them into thinking fraudulent activities have already happened to get you to give information, so they are now able to gain access to confirm passcodes. The CRA will never call you or send you an email inquiring about strange activities on your account, they will only send a letter in the mail. That is the only thing you need to know about fraudulent activities done from the “CRA”

This is done in a call center in another country, they target older individuals by scaring them into thinking they owe money, and they would tell them to buy visa credit cards. Many individuals have fallen victim to this scam losing over 80 k in money thinking they owe money. Only to then realize they never did and lost all their money. Usually when it’s anything about owning money. You will always receive a letter in the mail asking for you to call them to speak about the matter.

What we learned about the topic that surprised us the most is that identity and credit fraud can literally happen to any of us. It can be from things we use everyday not even realizing has so much of our information. We put a lot of trust into the Internet and hoping that our information is secure but after learning this content, we really ask ourselves, how safe are we?
2. A real example of how this topic is relevant is that I've gotten many calls from "the CRA" claiming there's a warrant for my arrest and that I must leave my SIN number so that things can be resolved. Even sometimes picking up the call, they're able to get some kind of information from you, just from answering and hanging up.  It's scary to think the measures people go to to find fraud victims.
3. The most important knowledge we think to pass on to others is to always protect your information and never give out any personal information if you find it to be a potential fraud crime. Also, limit the way you interact on the internet and the information you leave on there. Always protect your pins, passwords and accounts and keep them somewhere where only you have access to.]]> 2022-04-05 02:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/keziahxo/oyt5nxzwex6fko97/wish/2129836601 adilabarrett https://padlet.com/keziahxo/oyt5nxzwex6fko97/wish/2129846105 This movie shows how individuals can become a victim and how unaware we can be of someone taking advantage of our credit cards and names. While the theft was shopping the victim was being detained because he was not able to buy his gas because his credit card had no money on it. Just to find out someone stole his identity. This shows that many of us can tend to be careless. They just need our information from our social media, and they have an in. This can happen to anyone and even to find the person or persons who did it is very hard to get justice.

The reality is that if they are asking for personal information, they are most likely planning on doing fraudulent activities. They can sometimes pass as a friendly face on Facebook because they were able to hack into your friend’s profile and then try to hack as many more individuals’ accounts after that. The information they get from these people is enough to put anyone in a panic to change all their info.  Do not give your personal information or banking information to anyone online. BIG RED FLAG
