How Canadians can prevent title fraud on their home

Canadians take a lot of steps trying to protect themselves from fraud, but anyone can still be blindsided when it comes to their own home through what's known as title fraud.

There have been a couple of high-profile investigations led by Toronto police in the past months and there has been an increase in title fraud cases in the Greater Toronto Area. This type of fraud by definition is when a scammer steals the title to someone else's home, allowing them to sell it or apply for a new mortgage against it.

Shallima Maharaj reports on how Canadians can protect themselves against this type of fraud and what the fraudsters are often looking for when they attempt this type of identity theft.
