There's a department run by the RCMP, OPP and the Competition Bureau Canada (I do think there's supposed to be an "of" in there, but I will not disagree with the feds) called Phonebusters.

Its mandate is such:
PhoneBusters is the central agency in Canada that collects information on telemarketing, advanced fee fraud letters (Nigerian letters) and identity theft complaints.


So, basically they're the scam cops. Man, I'd KILL to be working with this department. They don't appear to do any investigating or arresting, but it just sounds like it would be neat. Plus, I can only imagine being able to run off the various mutations of 419 letters would be more interesting than my current job.

Oh, hey. There are Puppy scams. That's just wrong.
