Elder Abuse and Financial Fraud

Elder abuse often involves forgery and signature fraud, and it’s a growing issue across Vaughan and the rest of Canada. Investigation Hotline offers forensic handwriting analysis to help prove unauthorized transactions and support legal action against abusers.

The Problem of Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse is more widespread in Canada than many realize, affecting mostly women and children—but men too. Abuse can be physical, emotional, or financial, and many victims feel trapped by fear, control, or lack of housing.

Investigation Hotline supports victims across Mississauga and Ontario by gathering evidence, tracking abuser behavior, documenting injuries, and assisting with legal cases.

Domestic Abuse Online

Technology is another avenue where abusers can try to control their victims. Victims may be prevented from contacting their friends and family, or they may be forced to send constant updates to their abuser who does not trust them. They can also be blackmailed or coerced into sharing or posting sensitive photos or other damaging information. This can have far-reaching effects on a victim’s personal and social lives as well as creating long-lasting trauma.
