Report cybercrime and fraud
Report cybercrime and fraud online
Only a small percentage of cybercrimes or frauds are reported to police in Canada, making it difficult for law enforcement to keep up with the ever-changing threat landscape.
To make it easier for Canadians and businesses to report cybercrime and fraud, we have developed a new reporting system in collaboration with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC).
If you have experienced or witnessed a cybercrime or fraud, you can now use the Report Cybercrime and Fraud application to report the incident online. You also have the option to report anonymously.
This new system will help us to:
- make links between similar reports of cybercrime and fraud across Canada and internationally
- identify and prioritize reported threats and incidents for law enforcement purposes
- coordinate investigations and other law enforcement activities across jurisdictions
Remember
If you have been a victim of a cybercrime or fraud, please contact your local police as soon as possible. It's the role of your local police to investigate the report. It is also important that you report the incident using the Report Cybercrime and Fraud application. The National Cybercrime Coordination Centre (NC3) coordinates cybercrime information for law enforcement through maintaining a central repository of information to assist with investigations.
