About this data
Source: Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, Fraud Reporting System dataset, Open Government Licence - Canada, reports from 2021-01-01 to 2025-09-30. Counts are reports filed from Yukon; a report can be an attempt with no victim. The dataset has no phone numbers or names. Many victims never report fraud, so actual numbers are higher.
