Avoiding Scams

Just like anywhere else in the world, you can expect to receive scam calls, text messages, or emails in Canada. Following a basic principle, however, can save you from scammers easily. No government organization or financial institution will give you a call or send you an email or a text message with a link to follow. In any email or mail that you may receive from government agencies or financial institutions, you will only be instructed to check your account for messages or directly call the relevant organization.
