The cost of doing nothing

Fraud doesn't stop with the victim. It becomes a municipal crisis.

When a resident loses their savings, the fallout lands on social services, housing, mental health, families, and police. Prevention is far cheaper than the aftermath.

$530M+

lost to fraud by Canadians every year, and climbing.

63%

of fraud targets are reached by phone, where urgency works best.

What your municipality gets

One pilot. Four deliverables. Zero prep.

01

60-Minute Facilitated Workshop

An expert-led, interactive session on the neuroscience of scams, teaching two habits residents keep for life: the Rude Rule and the Family Safe Word.

02

Safety Shield Fridge Magnets

A high-contrast, senior-accessible magnet with the three core rules printed in large, legible type, right where residents will see them.

03

Digital Victim Recovery Guide

A branded, accessible PDF that walks fraud victims through their next steps: who to call, what to document, and how to protect the accounts they still have.
