The National Adult Protective Services Association’s (NAPSA’s) monthly Scam Advice Forum

This month’s forum presents an in-depth session on Black Axe and related international fraud groups originating from Nigeria. We will explore how these networks are structured and how they operate. Our guest speaker will share insights into their organization, methods, and activities, as well as an overview of fraud volumes reported in Canada. He will also highlight emerging trends identified by the CAFC and discuss the broader impact of global transnational fraud on Canada.

Jeff Thomson of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police currently serves as the Acting Officer in Charge of the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. Over a 24-year career spent entirely at the CAFC, he has developed deep expertise in financial crime investigations, including money laundering, mass marketing fraud, identity theft, and emerging cyber-enabled fraud schemes.
