The website may include an online form or instructions for reporting by phone. It is essential to provide as much detail as possible to ensure that the incident is thoroughly documented and can be investigated appropriately. In addition, individuals should also consider reporting the incident to their local law enforcement agency, as they can take further action if necessary. Always prioritize your safety and protect personal information when sharing details about the incident. For the most current information on reporting methods, it is advisable to refer directly to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre's website.
