Show Notes

Guest: Christine Dobby, business reporter

Scam calls are an annoying and growing problem that cost Canadians $57 million in losses last year. With a technological arms race between con artists, phone companies and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), there is no clear path to stop calls. Some will always get through, making awareness one of the best tools to make sure you don't get taken.

This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar.
