๐Ÿ‘‰As tax season kicks in, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre warns of a new scam involving fraudulent texts, claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). These texts contain recipients' names and personal details, including their Social Insurance Number (SIN). The scam prompts victims to make payments to a specified phone number. Likely targeting those previously affected by data breaches, fraudsters aim to exploit this information for financial gain. The Centre emphasizes the CRA does not request payments via text and advises caution, urging individuals to verify any communication directly with the official CRA phone number.โœ… . ๐€๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ž ๐‰๐จ๐ฒ ๐“๐š๐ฑ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ @taxesatjoy @augustine.joy_ ๐™Ž๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™™๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™Ž๐™ช๐™ฅ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ ๐™‰๐™š๐™ฌ๐™˜๐™ค๐™ข๐™š๐™ง๐™จ ๐˜ผ๐™จ๐™จ๐™ž๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™š ๐˜ฝ๐™ช๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™š๐™จ๐™จ ๐™๐™–๐™ญ ๐™จ๐™ค๐™ก๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ ๐™Ž๐™ข๐™–๐™ก๐™ก ๐˜ฝ๐™ช๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™š๐™จ๐™จ ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ง๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ ๐˜ผ๐™ช๐™™๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™๐™š๐™ฅ๐™ง๐™š๐™จ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ +๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ— ๐ญ๐š๐ฑ๐ž๐ฌ๐š๐ญ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฒ@๐ ๐ฆ๐š๐ข๐ฅ.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ.๐ญ๐š๐ฑ๐ž๐ฌ๐š๐ญ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฒ.๐œ๐š ๐’๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ž ๐ฅ๐จ๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: ๐€๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ ๐‚๐š๐ง๐š๐๐š ๐ž๐ฑ๐œ๐ž๐ฉ๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ž๐›๐ž๐œ . . #TaxScamAlert #CRAWarning #FraudPrevention #TaxSeasonScams #CyberSecurity #ScamAwareness #ProtectYourInfo #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Davanshi Poddar, a recent immigrant from India residing in Toronto, fell victim to an online job scam, losing $15,000 of her savings. While searching for employment, Poddar responded to a purported Walmart job posting on Instagram, unaware it was fraudulent. Initially hired to promote Walmart products online, she was later instructed to purchase expensive items with her own money, falsely promised reimbursement. Despite appearing to receive refunds in a separate account, Poddar never recovered her funds. Walmart Canada expressed regret over the incident, emphasizing their recruitment process does not involve soliciting money from applicants. Social media experts warn of the prevalence of online job scams and advise thorough research and vigilance when seeking employment. Employment scams rank fourth among common scams in Canada, with losses exceeding $27 million in 2023, according to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.โœ… . ๐๐š๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐ž๐ฒ ๐ž๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐Š๐š๐ฆ๐š๐ฅ, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ž๐๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐†๐“๐€ ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ. ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ‘-๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ๐Ÿ” ๐„๐ฆ๐š๐ข๐ฅ: ๐ค๐š๐ฆ๐š๐ฅ@๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐œ๐š๐ง๐š๐๐ข๐š๐ง๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @kamalpillai_realtor . . #JobScam #FraudAlert #OnlineScam #WalmartJob #TorontoFraud #ImmigrantExperience #FinancialLoss #ScamAwareness #EmploymentScam #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Authorities in British Columbia caution against a new text scam luring victims to a replica of a government website, falsely claiming traffic violations and prompting payment through credit cards. The fraudulent texts mimic official notices and direct recipients to a counterfeit version of the legitimate PayBC site, where scammers harvest credit card information. RCMP detachments in Nanaimo and Salmon Arm report numerous incidents, reflecting the surge in cyber fraud across Canada. Cybersecurity experts emphasize community vigilance, especially among vulnerable groups like seniors, urging education on recognizing and reporting scams to mitigate financial losses.โœ… . ๐„๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ ๐Œ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐€๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž- ๐€๐ญ ๐š ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐œ๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ข๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ! ๐‰๐จ๐ฆ ๐Œ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐š๐ฆ ๐Œ๐จ๐›๐ข๐ฅ๐ž ๐Œ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐€๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ +๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ• ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฆ.๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐š๐ฆ@๐œ๐ข๐›๐œ.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @jom_mattam . . #BCScamAlert #TextScam #CyberFraud #GovernmentWebsiteFraud #CommunitySafety #CybersecurityEducation #ScamAwareness #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰An Ottawa couple is devastated as a scammer, posing as a TD Bank representative, duped them into a fraudulent call, resulting in a $13,000 loss. Janel Nguyen and Evan Dudley, thinking it was a legitimate bank call, fell victim to a sophisticated identity theft scheme. The scammers, claiming to address a fraud issue, manipulated Nguyen into revealing sensitive information, leading to unauthorized online access and maxing out their credit card with cash advances. Despite swift action, the couple faces the harsh reality that their life savings, earmarked for a dream trip, is irretrievably gone, compounded by the bank's denial of responsibility.โœ… . ๐„๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ ๐Œ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐€๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž- ๐€๐ญ ๐š ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐œ๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ข๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ! ๐‰๐จ๐ฆ ๐Œ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐š๐ฆ ๐Œ๐จ๐›๐ข๐ฅ๐ž ๐Œ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐€๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ +๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ• ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฆ.๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐š๐ฆ@๐œ๐ข๐›๐œ.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @jom_mattam . . #BankScam #IdentityTheft #FinancialFraud #OttawaCouple #CreditCardScam #TDAlert #ScamAwareness #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Toronto motorists are being cautioned by police about a new parking ticket scam involving deceptive text messages. John Brooker from Toronto received a text claiming he had an overdue parking ticket, demanding immediate payment to avoid license suspension.
