The pace of fraud emails and posts slowed somewhat in February compared to the previous month. We received 166 emails from lawyers (down from 187) and posted on 9 new fraud attempts (half the posts of January). The could partly be the result of a shortened month.

54% of the emails this month came from the U.S., 45% from Ontario, and only 1% from elsewhere in Canada and overseas.

6 of the 9 posts dealt with commercial debt collection scams, with the remainder being business debt collection and spousal support collection. Click here to read about the various email fraud scenarios.
