Financial fraud continues to be on the rise and scams have become increasingly sophisticated. Scammers continue to seek financial gain by stealing identities, accessing login details, acquiring personal financial information and obtaining funds through false pretenses. \u201cPhishing\u201d remains one of the most common techniques used to steal data or infiltrate an individual\u2019s network. This is where scammers call, text\/SMS, email or connect via social media to trick victims into sharing sensitive information, providing funds or clicking a malicious link that contains malware that, once downloaded, can access a device\u2019s information. Phishing often uses mass messages that appear legitimate or from trusted sources. Here are some common email phishing scams and preventative actions. While this basic phishing information may be familiar to many, please share it with those who might need support, such as individuals who are less tech savvy or those who may be isolated.<\/p><ul><li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Payments and Memberships<\/strong> \u2014 These fool you into believing you have paid for a product or membership, often of substantial value, prompting you to respond. <em>Instead, consider checking your credit card statements to see if a charge has been made<\/em>.<\/li><li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Expired Subscription<\/strong> \u2014 A sense of urgency is created to renew an expired subscription, often using malicious links that collect your financial data. <em>Always access subscription information through the actual account using the company\u2019s trusted website.<\/em><\/li><li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Shipment Confirmation<\/em> \u2014 These suggest you have a pending delivery, often requesting payment or guiding you to open a compromised link\/attachment that contains malware. <em>If you make an online purchase, always track shipping through the confirmation provided by the vendor.<\/em><\/li><li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Sweepstakes Win<\/strong> \u2014 These promise a prize but often request you to send money or click a link to provide your information. <em>Ask the question: did I enter the sweepstakes? If not, it\u2019s likely a scam.<\/em><\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Phishing emails often use the actual logos of organizations to create legitimacy. However, a closer look may indicate the source is fake:<\/p><ul><li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Doesn\u2019t address the individual directly<\/strong> (i.e., \u201cDear customer\u201d or \u201cHello friend\u201d)<\/li><li><strong>Contains spelling\/grammar errors<\/strong><\/li><li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Sender\u2019s email address is generic<\/strong> \u2014 always view the underlying email address\/domain name to check its legitimacy<\/li><li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Sender requests personal\/confidential information<\/strong> or asks you to log in or click a provided link \u2014 reputable companies never do so via email<\/li><li><strong>Sender makes an urgent request with a deadline<\/strong><\/li><li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>The offer sounds too good to be true<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For examples, please see: <span style=\"color: #333333\"><a style=\"color: #333333\" href=\"https:\/\/www.getcybersafe.gc.ca\/en\/resources\/real-examples-fake-emails\">https:\/\/www.getcybersafe.gc.ca\/en\/resources\/real-examples-fake-emails<\/a><\/span><\/p><h4><strong>The Best Defense? Do Not Respond<\/strong><\/h4><p style=\"text-align: justify\">If you are not certain if a message is legitimate, the best response is to not respond at all. Never share information with people you don\u2019t know. Never click on links or download\/open attachments on emails. And, never reply \u2014 even if you know the message is fake. Often s, cams are generic mass messages; by responding, you\u2019re confirming your number\/email is active\/valid and you\u2019re likely to be inundated with further communications. In any situation where you may be uncertain, consider the approach of \u201c<strong><em>take five, tell two<\/em><\/strong>\u201d \u2014 take five minutes to pause; then tell two people, like a friend or neighbour, who can provide perspectives.
