Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Tues. July 15th, 2025

GoFundMe has become a beacon of support for countless families every year – a financial lifeline that raises money for various causes and relief efforts. In recent weeks, the families of the Texas flood victims have received thousands of dollars from Good Samaritans. However, one fundraiser turned out to be fake, and it negatively impacted a mother of 6 kids in Burlington. Julie Cole joins Kristy Cameron to recount the horrifying experience in Hour 2. We also hear from Tanya Walker, a Canadian litigation lawyer and a Managing Partner at Walker Law, a firm who specializes in fraud cases. Switching gears to the auto theft crisis, it appears that today’s car thieves have uncovered another loophole, and are now using it to their advantage. Their secret recipe: Re-vinned vehicles. We dig deeper with Shawn Vording, who is the President of Carfax Canada. They sell vehicle history reports.
