There are trends. For example, at income tax time, there is likely to be a significant increase in fraud attempts that use the Canada Revenue Agency as a cover. However, other agencies were also frequently used, such as Border Services Canada for imaginary Amazon parcels held at the border. There are all kinds of scams.
Before coming to this meeting, Mr. Scott spoke about what is called the "Mandarin scam". These were fraudulent calls that were originally only in Mandarin. Most people who answered and heard someone at the other end of the line speaking in Mandarin would usually simply hang up because it wasn't their language. The scam was clearly focused on people whose culture or language was from Asia. But Mr. Scott told us that he had received one of these calls recently, but that on this occasion he had been given the option of hearing the message in English or in Mandarin. So things have been evolving.
