FYI, the Reporting Economic Crime Online link directs you to the Anti Fraud Centre. Unfortunately as we learned from my last post the Anti Fraud Centre does not channel complaints to the police force of jurisdiction. They merely try to annoy the criminals a little bit and save a few cardholders grief.
From RCMP Webmaster's email:
Please report scams to your police force of jurisdiction. In addition, you can report this situation in detail to RECOL (Reporting Economic Crime OnLine) at www.recol.ca. This system prioritizes complaints and channels them to the police force of jurisdiction. You are likely dealing with international, well-organized and professional criminals who are experienced in taking advantage of the difficulties all police forces have in conducting international multi-jurisdictional investigations.
Although you are in the business of marketing a product and generating sales, it is in your best interest to practice due diligence when dealing with new and unfamiliar potential clients who request unusual arrangements. Once you fall victim, recouping your loss is likely impossible.
Administration of Criminal Justice in Canada is a Provincial matter, which is always a challenge with international investigations. Police forces in Canada, including the RCMP, are restricted by Provincial jurisdiction(s) under the Criminal Code. Coordination is sometimes possible; however, the complainant must first report the matter to their police force of jurisdiction.
Thank you,
Webmaster
