The RCMP continues to see violent online groups, like 764, targeting youth. While we are working with partners to address this—parents and caregivers play an important role too.

Stay involved, talk openly with your kids about what they’re seeing online, and speak up if something doesn’t feel right.

Romance scams are one of the fastest‑growing forms of online fraud and older adults are often targeted. Scammers know that many seniors value connection, routine, and meaningful conversation, so they build trust slowly through daily messages, affection, and emotional storytelling.

Once that bond feels real, the requests begin: money for an emergency, help with travel, or financial support to “solve a temporary problem.” These stories are carefully crafted to create urgency and guilt, making it harder to step back and question what’s happening.

There is nothing embarrassing about being targeted. These scams are designed to manipulate emotions, not intelligence.

Talk openly with others in your life about the warning signs: refusing video calls, avoiding in‑person meetings, asking for money, or pushing for fast emotional intimacy. A simple conversation can prevent financial loss and emotional harm

If something feels off, trust your instincts. Know something or someone running these scams? You can report it anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1‑800‑222‑8477 or online at Canadiancrimestoppers.org

This BC Seniors Week, we’re celebrating the older adults who strengthen our communities and raising awareness about the issues that can impact their safety.

Education is one of the strongest tools we have. Learning the signs of senior abuse, understanding the risks of fraud and scams, and knowing how to report concerns helps protect the people who have spent a lifetime caring for others.

Let’s continue building a community where seniors feel safe, supported, and empowered.
If you know of any information regarding seniors abuse, financial scams or other concerns you can report it anonymously to BC Crimestoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477 or online at bccrimestoppers.com
