Why Media Outlets Are Taking Notice

The widespread coverage reflects growing concern about sophisticated AI-powered fraud schemes targeting Canadian businesses and individuals. Our decades of experience investigating deception, from traditional cases like infidelity and asset searches to cutting-edge digital fraud, positions Investigation Hotline as a trusted authority on this evolving threat landscape.

The Growing Threat

As we detailed in our media appearances, deepfake technology now allows criminals to:

• Clone voices using just 3-5 seconds of audio
• Create convincing fake video calls with executives
• Impersonate trusted figures to promote fraudulent investments
• Target working professionals who consider themselves tech-savvy

The demographic shift is particularly concerning – fraud victims are now primarily aged 20-49 rather than seniors, contradicting common assumptions about vulnerability to scams.
