Fight Fraud on the Front Lines

The Bank of Canada, in collaboration with the RCMP and other police agencies, Payment Card Partners (representing Visa, MasterCard, and Interac issuers and acquirers), Canada Post, and several industry associations, has developed Fighting Fraud on the Front Lines: a Retailer's Guide.

This innovative program provides easy-to-follow advice on how Canadian retailers can avoid becoming victims of bank note counterfeiting, payment card crime, cheque and money order fraud, and identity theft. The program includes a DVD featuring closed captioning, with four short video clips depicting victims of financial fraud, followed by information on how to protect yourself from these scams. A tips sheet summarizes the fraud-prevention advice and lists additional resources.
