I don't have data or research to link someone's personal situation to how vulnerable they are to falling for fraud incidents. What I do know, and why this committee is studying this, is that fraud is a significant problem that impacts many Canadians, including senior women.
What is really important is to continue to get the information out there about the importance of prevention and of knowing where to get resources if you think you are impacted. We often use a very simple approach: If you get something that you think seems suspicious, take five minutes to look at it and maybe talk to a friend. Don't take any action right away. That way, you can protect yourself.
