Most people you meet are exactly who they say. These habits protect you from the few who aren’t.

If someone you met online asks for money, gift cards or crypto, stop and do not send it. Report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre on 1-888-495-8501, and report the profile to us so a person can review it.
