Internet scams have evolved into sophisticated, cross-border operations costing victims billions each year. Agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre continue to report rising fraud losses driven by phishing, fake investment platforms, and cryptocurrency schemes. While fraud is a criminal offence, victims are not limited to relying on law enforcement — civil litigation can provide powerful tools to freeze accounts, trace stolen funds, compel disclosure from banks or exchanges, and pursue negligent institutions. In many cases, acting quickly can significantly improve the chances of recovery.
