Toronto PI Mitchell Dubros Warns: Canadians Lose $103 Million to Deepfake Scams in 2025

Investigation Hotline founder alerts public to AI fraud surge while expanding comprehensive investigation services to protect Toronto businesses and individuals

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, September 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Deepfake scams have already cost Canadians over $103 million in 2025. Mitchell Dubros, founder of Toronto-based Investigation Hotline, is warning the public about this explosive growth in AI-powered fraud while expanding his firm's comprehensive investigation services to help clients navigate all forms of deception and fraud.

Investigation Hotline, with over 30 years of experience exposing deception in cases ranging from infidelity to corporate fraud, warns that Canadian victims now lose an average of over $16,000 per incident, and sophisticated AI is able to clone voices using just 3-5 seconds of audio.


Investigation Expertise Spans All Forms of Deception

Recent deepfake cases have involved individuals who lost life savings after being deceived by fake videos of prominent Canadian officials promoting fraudulent investments, and Toronto business owners targeted by AI-generated video calls from fake executives requesting wire transfers.

With 95% of Canadian companies believing deepfakes have increased their fraud risk, Investigation Hotline's comprehensive approach to investigation services positions the firm to help clients facing various threats to their personal and business security.

"Whether someone suspects their spouse is cheating, needs to locate missing assets in a divorce, or wants to verify the legitimacy of a business partner, the fundamentals remain the same - we investigate, we gather evidence, and we reveal the truth," explains Dubros.


Investigation Hotline offers a full range of professional investigation services, including:
- Infidelity and relationship investigations
- Uncovering marital deception and affairs
- Asset searches and recovery
- Locating hidden financial assets and property
- Corporate investigations
- Background checks, due diligence, and fraud detection
- Missing persons investigations
- Finding lost family members and witnesses
- Insurance fraud investigations
- Exposing fraudulent claims and staged incidents
- Child custody investigations
- Gathering evidence for family court proceedings
- Digital investigations
- Cyber fraud, online harassment, and digital evidence recovery

"The same skills we use to catch a cheating spouse - surveillance, evidence gathering, pattern analysis - apply to detecting AI fraud or any other form of deception," said the firm’s leadership. "Our clients trust us because we've been exposing lies for over three decades."

With Canadian businesses losing $569 million to various fraud schemes in 2024, and cybersecurity incident recovery costs doubling to $1.2 billion, Investigation Hotline urges businesses and individuals to take proactive steps to protect themselves.
