The victim became uneasy with this process and was able to lock her accounts and report the incident to her bank and police. Her quick thinking prevented anyone from accessing her funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As members of the public become more informed and educated about online transactions, fraudsters are becoming more sophisticated. Police are strongly recommending that people slow the process down and second check and verify all information that they receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre is Canada&#8217;s national, joint-force anti-fraud repository whose mandate includes gathering intelligence on all types of fraud and analyzing the data that helps guide police investigations. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre also provides education and awareness on fraud prevention.
