Scammers take advantage of people’s generosity during the holidays by creating fake organizations or charity websites

**** Via RCMP Scammers take advantage of people’s generosity during the holidays by creating fake organizations or charity websites. To protect yourself: • Never wire someone money without confirming their identity • Check with the Canada Revenue Agency to make sure the charity is registered • Make sure you’re provided a tax receipt • If a canvasser comes to your door, ask for more information and do your research before donating
