CFN- No one expects to be a Break and Enter (B&E) crime statistic.  It is very common for a victim of Break and Enter to experience many emotions, fears and stress as a result of this type of offence.  In partnership with Justice Canada, Victim Services of SDG&A with the support of local police services have developed a Break & Enter pilot project to better assist victims of B & E.This project consists of ensuring that B&E victims receive support and information to help ease their concerns, answer any questions they may have and provide security recommendations.  Victims of a B&E can be sent an information package by mail as a first step.

“This is a wonderful new initiative funded by Justice Canada and we hope to be able to provide the support and assistance that victims of B&E need and deserve” states Diane Plourde, Executive Director of Victim Services.  “People often don’t realize the traumatic effect a B&E can have on individuals, including children.  It is a violation of one’s private space.  We want to be able to assist victims in dealing with what has happened and help them feel more secure”.

CFN –  Today a Canadian Jury and Judge have taken a stand that many will applaud.

Zainab, (19), Sahar, (17), and Geeti, (13) Shafia , as well as Rona Amir Mohammad, 52, their father’s childless first wife in a polygamous marriage were found dead in a vehicle in Kingston Ontario.

It was a strange case resulting in the Shafia family being arrested and now convicted for First Degree murder.

The murders of this Montreal family stem from an “Honour System” practiced by this family from Afghanistan.    This sense of honour seems quite odd to many here in Canada; and of course placing the dead bodies in a car and putting it in a canal didn’t seem “honorouble” either?

Mohammad Shafia, his wife and son have been found guilty of four counts of murder which carry a minimum of 25 years in jail.

In the purest sense this was simply a sad murder case that resulted in a family’s destruction.  It also sends a loud message to Canadians that our laws should be observed, and if they wish to practice such barbarity that perhaps immigration to Canada isn’t the solution to their life goals?

It also is grist for discussion around this Country, and the world about the roles of women and rights of women.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpwqtRefqls

We live in a gracious country that tries to accommodate newcomers,  and we as a country should always be welcoming and allow people to retain and add their culture to ours; but certain practices have to be left at the border, and for the vast majority of people that come to our country those are not issues; but for the Shafia family sadly; that lesson has been delivered home by our Canadian justice system, and hopefully a message to those that would hurt their families within our borders.

The values that cost four innocent women their lives have no place in our society.

FRAUD and SCAM INFORMATION

            Cornwall, ON – The Cornwall Community Police Service recognizes that its’ not always easy to spot a scam and that new ones are invented on a daily basis. If you suspect that you may be a target of fraud, or if you have already sent funds, don’t be embarrassed, you’re not alone.  The Cornwall Community Police Service along with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre would like to inform you of some frauds reported in our community and wish to provide you with Crime Reduction tips to reduce the risk.

How Can I recognize a Scam?

If It sounds too good to be true

• You’ve won a big prize in a contest that you don’t recall entering. You’re offered a once-in-a-lifetime investment that offers a huge return. You’re told that you can buy into a lottery ticket pool that cannot lose.

In the last few months, police have received several reports of telephone calls advising citizens that they have won money and/or a lottery. The caller asks for all your confidential banking and/or credit card information. Honest businesses do not require these details unless you are using that specific method of payment.

Always research the caller’s telephone number and business prior to providing any personal information. If the company or number is believed to be associated to a scam or fraud a warning will be attached to it.  These types of scams are difficult to trace and the suspects are sometimes not found.

You must pay or you can’t play

• “You’re a winner!” but you must agree to send money to the caller in order to pay for delivery, processing, taxes, duties or some other fee in order to receive your prize. Sometimes the caller will even send a courier to pick up your money.

Will that be cash… or cash?

• Often criminal telemarketers ask you to send cash or a money order, rather than a cheque or credit card. Cash is untraceable and can’t be cancelled. Also, criminals also have difficulty in establishing themselves as merchants with legitimate credit card companies.

It’s the manager calling

• The person calling claims to be a government official, tax officer, banking official, lawyer or some other person in authority. The person calls you by your first name and asks you a lot of personal or lifestyle questions (like how often do your grown children visit you?). This should be making you think of a scam. Hang-up!

Online Scams

A recent report was submitted from a resident advising that Canada Revenue had sent an email informing of a payable refund for taxes by simply clicking on a link. The link requested personal and banking information for a direct deposit and confirmation of bank account. The fraud was caught when the complainant found spelling mistakes in the document and confirming the email with a trusted accountant and government officials.

The government officials have confirmed that they would not send any pertinent information by email and all important documents would be sent by mail directly to your home.

It’s a limited opportunity and you’re going to miss out

• If you are pressured to make a big purchase decision immediately, it’s probably not a legitimate deal. Real businesses or charities will give you a chance to check them out or think about it.

What can I do to protect myself?

Remember, legitimate telemarketers have nothing to hide

• However, criminals will say anything to part you from your hard-earned money.
• Be cautious.
  You have the right to check out any caller by requesting written information, a call back number, references and time to think over the offer.

Legitimate business people will be happy to provide you with that information. After all, they want the “bad guys” out of business too. Always be careful about providing confidential personal information, especially banking or credit card details, unless you are certain the company is legitimate. And, if you have doubts about a caller, your best defense is to simply hang up. It’s not rude – it’s smart.

If you’re in doubt, it’s wise to ask the advice of a close friend or relative, or even your banker. Rely on people you can trust.

Remember, you can Stop Phone Fraud – Just Hang Up!

I suspect that a relative or friend is being targeted by unscrupulous telemarketers. What can I do?

Watch for any of these warning signs

• a marked increase in the amount of mail or emails with too-good-to-be-true offers
• frequent calls offering get-rich-quick schemes or valuable awards, or numerous calls for donations to unfamiliar charities
• a sudden inability to pay normal bills
• Any emails from government or banks
• Requests for loans or cash online or telephone.
• banking records that show cheques or withdrawals made to unfamiliar companies
• Secretive behaviour regarding phone calls.

If you suspect that someone you know has fallen prey of a scam or a fraud, don’t criticize them for being naïve. Encourage that person to share their concerns with you about unsolicited calls or any new business or charitable dealings. Assure them that it is not rude to hang up on suspicious calls. Keep in mind that criminal are relentless in hounding people – some victims report receiving 5 or more calls a day, wearing down their resistance. And, once a person has succumbed to this ruthless fraud, their name and number will likely go on a “sucker list”, which is sold from one crook to another.

According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, the top three scams are as follows:

Service Scam

Any false, deceptive or misleading promotion of services or solicitation for services. These scams typically involve third parties that make offers for telecommunications, internet, finance, medical and energy services. This category of scams may also include, but is not limited to, offers such as extended warranties, insurance and sales services.

Prize Pitch

One of the most common scams is the “prize pitch”. Consumers are told they have been specially selected to win a prize, or have been awarded one of three or two of five prizes. These prizes usually include cash or a vehicle. You must purchase a product and pay in advance to receive your prize. These products may include “coin collections”, personalized pen sets, etc. The products are generally cheap or overpriced, but may sound valuable over the phone.

Remember, in a legitimate contest you do not have to purchase a product to qualify for a prize.

You may also encounter the “sweepstakes scam”. After entering a fake sweepstakes contest in the mail, you will receive a call within two to four weeks from a fraudulent telemarketer. This person will usually identify themselves as a lawyer, judge, customs agent or other official. They will represent themselves as an agent for a particular company. You will be told that you have won a large cash award, but money must be sent up front for taxes, etc.

Emergency or “Grandparent” Scam

Though the “Emergency Scam” (or sometimes referred to as the “Grandparent Scam”) has been around for years, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre warns the public to be on alert after noting a marked increase in the number of complaints in the last two months.

In the typical scenario, a grandparent receives a phone call from a con-artist claiming to be one of his or her grandchildren.  The caller goes on to say that they are in some kind of trouble and need money immediately. Typically they claim being in a car accident, trouble returning from a foreign country or they need bail money. .

Victims don’t verify the story until after the money has been sent as the caller specifically asks that they do not want other relatives to know what has happened.  ”

Wanting to help their grandchild, the victim sends money by a money transfer company such as Money Gram or Western Union.

Variations on the scam exist such as an old neighbour, a friend of the family etc. but predominantly the emergency scam is directed toward the grandparents.
