Avoid Scammers
It’s important to give and to receive help during challenging times such as COVID-19, but can you trust just anyone? Be mindful when accepting offers for help.
If you receive a call from a business or government agency asking you for money or personal information, hang up, do research and talk to those you trust. Cybercriminals are capitalizing on public concern about the COVID-19 outbreak with increasing numbers of phishing attacks through email, text message and telephone.
If you are the victim of a scam, it’s crucial to report it to both the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and the OPP.
