Scams & Fraud
While cybersecurity is an ongoing and very serious issue at the best of times, security experts say the spike in email scams during this coronavirus pandemic is the worst they have seen in years. This includes scams arising through email, text, phone or door to door.
Examples of Scams:
Stay Vigilant:
Tips for email in your work/personal email inboxes, for texts, and for phone calls
Recommended Action:
If you are a business, stay vigilant and report suspicious activity within your organization. Make sure all your employees see this information so they can stay aware as well. Post this information for your customers, on your websites and on your social media channels.
While cybersecurity is an ongoing and very serious issue at the best of times, security experts say the spike in email scams during this coronavirus pandemic is the worst they have seen in years. This includes scams arising through email, text, phone or door to door.
Examples of Scams:
- Emails and texts from a financial institution asking you to click a link to be pre-approved for a low-interest rate loan to help you through these uncertain times.
- Email from someone in your company requesting to upload personnel information, or to send an urgent wire transfer.
- Email advising to open an attachment from the World Health Organization (WHO) for more information on COVID-19.
- Fear-mongering emails, such as "Virus is now airborne" or "products Made in China have virus on them" and have a link to get more information.
- Emails from seemingly legitimate sources asking you to click "Donate here to help", or "Click here to see the tax cuts", or "Your Zoom attendees are waiting."
- Phone call from government or health providers requesting credit card or banking information.
- A number of phone and online scams continue to circulate. A new one is a phone call supposedly from MB hydro to say that your electricity will be cut off if you don’t pay a bill. Hydro has stopped doing any disconnections at this time. Hang up if contacted in this way.
Stay Vigilant:
Tips for email in your work/personal email inboxes, for texts, and for phone calls
- Be suspicious of any email or text that asks you to do something out of the ordinary.
- Do not open any attachment from an unknown sender, including known businesses.
- Hover over any links within any received email to view the URL address of that link; do not click that link before confirming the URL it links to.
- If you receive an email or text from any business or service with a link to click that seems legitimate, do not click the link, but rather go to the original website.
- Do not provide any financial/credit card or personal information to anyone via email, text or over the phone, regardless of how legitimate it sounds.
- Be sure that any action you are taking at your business is a legitimate request: emails from CEO, COO, etc., that are out of the ordinary must be confirmed with that person.
Recommended Action:
If you are a business, stay vigilant and report suspicious activity within your organization. Make sure all your employees see this information so they can stay aware as well. Post this information for your customers, on your websites and on your social media channels.
