A national consumer fraud education, awareness and prevention program for people over 55. The program utilizes the skills and talents of volunteer speakers over the age of 55 who deliver presentations to groups who want to improve their fraud-fighting knowledge.
Presentations are interactive with exercises, quizzes, role play, videos and discussions.
They are free, lasting for 60 minutes for older adult presentations to 90 minutes for caregivers. For Testimonials, click here. The ABCs of Fraud was created in 1996 by the Volunteer Centre of Toronto. In 1998, Scotiabank became the corporate sponsor for the older adult portion of the program. With the bank's sponsorship, the program is now in six locations across Canada.
