Our story

Founded July 9, 2023. Built for Canada. Expanding globally.

I officially founded the SCAM DOWN Program (SDP) on July 9, 2023, in Hamilton, Ontario. From day one, I worked tirelessly behind the scenes — researching, building a comprehensive business plan, and putting every protocol carefully in place. ⚠️ PRE-LAUNCH NOTICE: I am currently assembling my team leaders — including our COO (a retired Chief of Police), legal professionals, cybersecurity experts, and law enforcement partners — before officially launching to the public. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SDP CORE VALUES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔍 TRUTH | ✅ ACCURACY | ⚖️ INTEGRITY | 📚 RESEARCH | 🎯 PREPARATION Fraud does not respect borders. Neither does SDP. 🌍 $442 billion USD stolen through financial fraud globally in 2025 — INTERPOL 2026. 💻 $10.5 trillion USD in total cybercrime damages in 2025 — Cybersecurity Ventures. 🇺🇸 $16.6 billion USD lost by American victims in 2024 — FBI IC3. 📈 54% rise in INTERPOL fraud Notices 2024–2025. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎓 SDP EDUCATION GRANTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SDP offers grants of up to $10,000 for eligible individuals toward college or university tuition, outstanding student debt, or a qualifying business start-up. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ MINOR PROTECTION PROGRAM ASSISTANCE (MPPA) — UNDER 18 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This is a cause I take very personally. If you are under 18 and have been targeted or drawn into a scam — YOU ARE NOT IN TROUBLE. THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT. SDP is not contacting the police on your behalf for coming forward. Just like gambling can become an addiction — being pressured or manipulated into something wrong does not make you a bad person. We are here to help you find a safe, positive way forward. The MPPA provides: ✅ Free legal services ✅ Free counselling — up to $2,000 ✅ Emergency financial support ✅ Evidence collection from computers and phones ✅ Voluntary Surrender Program — non-punitive, rehabilitation-based ✅ Peer referral — encourage a friend to come forward ✅ Workshops at schools, libraries & YMCA community centres ✅ Both minor and parent or guardian engage together ⚠️ IMPORTANT: If you are caught in the future participating in sex trafficking scams, gaming scams, gambling scams, or working with anyone in illegal fraud activity — there will be serious consequences including possible arrest. Come forward now — while SDP can still help you. If a child is in immediate danger — call 911 immediately. scamdownprogram@gmail.com | +1 (289) 439-9651 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚖️ ASSET FREEZE & MAXIMUM PENALTY INITIATIVE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. IMMEDIATE ASSET FREEZE — All accounts and holdings frozen at the moment of arrest. 2. RETROACTIVE INVESTIGATION — Full financial investigation tracing every dollar. 3. MAXIMUM PENALTIES — Leniency at the Honourable Judge's sole discretion. 4. VICTIM RESTITUTION FIRST — All recovered funds directed first to verified victims. Formally presented to Chief Justice Richard Wagner (Supreme Court of Canada) and Chief Justice John Roberts (Supreme Court of the United States).

Our Foundation — Team Assembly in Progress

Building a World-Class Team Before We Launch

SDP is actively recruiting and assembling its core team before officially launching to the public. Our team will include retired police chiefs and officers, certified cybersecurity professionals, legal experts, and financial recovery specialists. We are currently in discussions with law enforcement agencies, government bodies, and institutional partners across Canada. Official launch will be announced once the full team is confirmed and all key partnerships are in place. If you are interested in joining our team — visit our Join Our Team page or contact Stephen Roksa, Founder & President, directly.
