In August 2019, the RCMP told the media it had turned an investigation into CRA fraud calls to Canadians into a national priority, and that 39 so-called call centres in countries like India had been taken down, while 45 people overseas had been arrested. In February of this year, two Canadians connected with this fraud were also arrested.
What RCMP resources are currently being invested into this type of overseas fraud investigation? Are many of these COVID-19 fraud scams coming from overseas?
