Date: Tuesday September 27, 2022
Speaker: Brock Godfrey, Canadian Anti-fraud Centre
Topic: Fraud Awareness for Seniors

Learn about the top scams targeting Seniors in Canada—what to look for and how to avoid the most serious frauds. This presentation was developed with assistance from the North Bay office, and from RCMP staff in Southern Ontario. 

Brock took early retirement in 1993 from the Ontario Ministry of Education, after 30 years in education. Following over three years of consulting, he joined PhoneBusters in 1997 as a Volunteer. This organization then became the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. Since leaving North Bay, he mainly gives presentations such as this to Service Clubs, Seniors and Professional Groups, across all of Southern Ontario, and from Maui, Hawaii, to Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia. Where possible, he often co-presents with Police Officers, especially from the OPP or RCMP. Brock received the Superintendent’s Award of Distinction from the RCMP for his work in making presentations about this topic across the province. Brock is approaching 800 presentations, and is looking forward to full retirement soon.
