Fraud and Scams presentation

The Council of Senior Citizens Organizations (COSCO) of BC : The Voice for Seniors Since 1950 offer a variety of health promotion workshops and we attended one co-hosted by Member of Parliament Peter Julian (pictured here) yesterday at the National Nikkei Museum and Heritage Centre. Types of frauds and scams presented were: telemarketing, mail scams, pyramid schemes, repair and purchase scams, internet scams, cheque fraud, identification theft, ATM skimming, canvassing scams and real estate fraud. Do you know what to look for to identify counterfeit money? Ask Bert.

The importance and pleasure of research

Bert's smile was ear to ear today. One of his favourite activies is riding "hop-on / hop-off" bus tours. Today, he took a two-hour tour starting from Canada Place in Vancouver - to experience the tour that he will be recommending to visiting PICPA (Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants) delegates who will be attending the PICPA International Convention in Vancouver this May. He was particularly delighted to see Yue Minjun's patinated bronze figures that his cousin Raymond told him about months ago.
