Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services – Home Security Audit Guide

“People tend to think of burglary in strictly physical terms – as illegal access to your home, items taken and/or items destroyed.

But burglary can have a significant impact on a person’s mental well-being. Burglary victims often speak of a sense of violation. This can lead to feelings of fear, anger and emotional distress, particularly in children and the elderly. To protect your loved ones, your property and your home, you are encouraged to improve the security in and around your home!

This Home Security Audit Guide provides general information about keeping your home secure. It provides guidance about taking precautions to reduce the risk of burglary around your home. Inexpensive and do-it-yourself suggestions are provided to help you maximize the security of your home. For further information and assistance, you or your community group may want to contact your local police service or crime prevention association.”

To arrange a free, personal home security audit call your local Division’s Crime Prevention Officer.  For 11 Division home and business owners please call416-808-1108.

Keep an eye on your valuables

Recently, there has been a noticeable increase of thefts in a number of retail businesses in the division.

These thefts involve the removal of purses or wallets from purses left in shopping carts while the shopper is distracted looking at items or at the checkout.

Please remember to be aware of your surroundings and those around you at all times.  Know where your valuables are and keep an eye on them.  Do not leave your wallet in plain view in an unfastened purse.

Do not carry large sums of cash or credit cards and identification that are not needed for that shopping trip.

Do not write personal identification numbers (PINS) on debit and credit cards.  If you need a written reminder, do not keep the written PINS for those debit and credit cards t ogether in the same wallet.

Remember, if a purse containing house or car keys is stolen the risk of having your house broken into or your car stolen is made that much greater.

Romance or Dating Scam

In 2011, Romance scams emerged as highest grossing scam, with over 12 million in losses reported by Canadians. This scam has also lead to incidents of suicide in cases where victims have lost their life saving and have been emotionally destroyed.

• Romance scams will continue to have a profound impact on Canadians and cause severe financial loss in 2013.

• These scams have proliferated with the increase use of social media – social networking sites and dating sites. These sites are most common with scams that require a level of trust between the victim and the fraudster.

• In the Romance scam the fraudsters have demonstrated that they are willing to develop the relationship over extended periods of time. This increases the trust level between the victim and fraudster and will result in higher dollar losses. This also results in a negative social impact on the victim as they have developed emotional and psychological attachment to the fraudster.

• Generally, Romance scams involve the victim and the fraudster meeting through a social networking site. The fraudster will gain the trust of the victim through displays of affection. While the fraudster is usually located in a distant country, eventually wanting to meet the victim in person. It is at this time the fraudster will advise they can’t afford to travel and will seek assistance from the victim in covering travel cost. Other variations include the fraudster presenting situations of emergency/ urgency, such as a sick family member, and seeking financial assistance from the victim for various costs.

• Some incidents have also occurred at the local level and involved the victims actually meeting the suspects to go out on dates and meeting at the victim residence. These cases are creating concerns for personal safety. For example, in one incident the victim reported having her wallet and some jewellery stolen from home.

Indicators

• Distressed citizen worried about a loved one
• Talking about good friend or loved one in another country that is coming to visit or needs help.
• Mentions Western Union or MoneyGram
• Frequenting the bank more often
• Making unusual withdrawals both in amounts and frequency.
• Making multiple withdrawals ranging from $500‐ $3000 in Cash.
• Making large dollar wire transfers to countries in Africa, Asia or Eastern Europe

Scam Alert

The Toronto Police would like to make the public aware of an arrest in a nationwide Secret Shopper Scam.  It is alleged that unsuspecting victims are being recruited for gainful employment as secret shoppers.

Once hired, the victim is sent cheques to cash using their own bank account.  The victim is then instructed to use a portion of this money to shop at various businesses and grade the service they received at those businesses.

One of the final instructions given to the victim is to use and grade the services of a cheque cashing business.  They are given a name and destination by the employer and told to send money, by wire transfer to this destination.  The money to be sent is a large percentage of the money they’d obtained earlier by cashing the cheques.

The victi m would later learn the cheques initially deposited into their accounts, were fraudulent.

Fraud Alert

The Toronto Strategic Partnership* would like to make the public aware of a “phishing scam” targeting credit card holders.

“Phishing” is a technique used to trick people into providing personal, financial, or password data by leading consumers to believe that a request for information is coming from a legitimate source. In reality, it is a malicious attempt to collect consumer information for the purpose of committing fraud. These requests often ask for information that will be used to commit fraud.

People are being contacted through email, text messaging and phone calls from suspects attempting to get personal credit card details such as credit card numbers, PINs, and the three digit code (CVV2/CVC2) on the back of a credit card.

The Toronto Strategic Partnership recom mends the following steps to protect your credit card data:

− do not provide any personal or credit card information

− ask the caller to provide his/her name, department, and extension

− tell the representative you want to verify their information and end the call

− never use verification provided by the person/entity that contacts you

− take steps to verify what is being told to you by calling the phone number on your credit card or billing statement

− contact your local police to report the incident or the Canadian Anti−fraud Centre for more information on this and other similar scams.

March is Fraud Prevention month.

To help safe guard yourself

1. Do not give out personal information over the phone, through the mail, to someone coming to your door or over the Internet unless you have initiated the contact.

2. Guard your social insurance number. Ask to use other types of identifiers when possible, and don’t carry your SIN card. Be sure to keep it in a secure place.

3. Safeguard personal information in your home, especially if you are having service work done there, employ outside help, or have a roommate.

4. Protect your mail. Deposit outgoing mail in post office collection boxes or at your local post office. Promptly remove mail from your mailbox after it’s delivered.

5. Shred all documents you are discarding, including pre-approved credit applications received in your name, insurance forms, bank cheques and statements, and other financial information.

6. Monitor your credit file for potentially fraudulent activity.

“Scareware” scam warning

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre has been receiving reports from Canadians who say their computers are being frozen or they have been “locked out” of their computers after receiving pop-up messages warning them their computer has been associated with child pornography. These warning messages, which claim to be from the RCMP or CSIS, tells the recipient to pay $100 dollars via Ukash so their computer can be “unlocked”.

These types of messages, commonly known as scareware, are designed to create such shock and anxiety that victims respond by sending money quickly.

If you receive one of these messages, please be aware that it is a scam – these messages are not being issued by th e RCMP. Last November, Ukash posted an alert on their website about a similar scam targeting residents in the United Kingdom. If you’ve been “locked out” of your computer, it’s an indicator that your system may have been infected with malware and you will need to take steps to address the problem.

Tips to protect yourself

• Never click on a pop up that claims your computer has a virus
• Update your anti-virus software often and scan your computer for viruses regularly
• Don’t click on links or attachments in e-mails sent to you by someone you don’t know
• Turn on your browser’s pop-up blocking feature
• Never download anti-virus software from a pop-up or link sent to you in an e-mail
If you’ve received a scareware message, please contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1-888-495-8501) to report it.
