The Manitoba Chapters is pleased to invite you to a Breakfast Learning Event and Annual General Meeting (AGM)

If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Millions of dollars are lost through frauds and scams. Thousands of people are victimized each year. All segments of the population are impacted, no one is immune from this type of crime and anyone can be a target.

Education and training are the most effective weapons that you can use to combat crime. The Winnipeg Police Service supports our community by proactively promoting public education and awareness on ways to prevent crime.

Join FMI Manitoba and Constable Harminder Singh from the Community Relations Unit to discuss the following topics:

Internet Fraud
Mail Fraud
On-line Dating Scams
Rental Scams
Home Repair Fraud
Credit & Debit Card Fraud
Emergency or ‘Grandparent’ Scam
