Who do I report a look-alike domain fraud to?

Where do I report?

Whether you are a victim or a witness, you can report a fraud or cybercrime online at reportcyberandfraud.canada.ca . You have the option to report anonymously if you wish.

In Canada you can report fraud to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre online at reportcyberandfraud.canada.ca or by phone at 1-888-495-8501, and you can report anonymously if you wish.

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre asks victims to contact local police as soon as possible, because investigating is the police's role.

The RCMP also lists [email protected], the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, which helps with mitigation where a technical compromise may have occurred.

Is it worth reporting if no money was lost?

If you have been a victim of fraud or cybercrime, please contact your local police as soon as possible.

Yes. The RCMP says a criminal act has occurred whether or not funds were transferred.

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre estimates that only 5 to 10 percent of victims report to it.

What do I include?
