TD Fraud Overconfidence Survey
TD commissioned a survey revealing a striking gap between Canadians’ confidence in spotting fraud and their continued risky digital habits. The research found that 89% felt confident identifying scams, while 52% still practised behaviours that could expose them, creating a useful warning story for financial and consumer media.
Why it worked: It weaponized a counterintuitive stat—high confidence correlating with risky behavior—to create urgency and a clean headline-friendly paradox.
The lesson: Consider fielding a quick poll that exposes a confidence–behavior gap in your audience, then headline the sharpest contradiction as the hook.
