    OPP AND CAFC PARTNER TO RAISE AWARENESS OF A PHISHING SCAM THE RCMP

    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    (MIDLAND,ON)- Members of the Southern Georgian Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) are continuing to raise the awareness for North Simcoe residents of the various scams that they may encounter on the telephone or online.

    The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) are warning the public about an ongoing phishing scam impersonating the RCMP.

    Unsolicited RCMP “delivery notices” are sent via text messages. The messages inform recipients that the RCMP was unable to deliver court documents and ask to reschedule to avoid missing a court date. These messages contain a link to an unofficial and fraudulent RCMP website to “reschedule the delivery”.

    This is a scam! The RCMP does not issue notices by text messages and the official RCMP home page is: https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/

    If you receive such a message, do not click the links – delete the text immediately. If you clicked on a link or provided personal details via the fraudulent website, contact your financial institution immediately and report it to your local police service and the CAFC.

    For the full news release and examples of the phishing text message please click on the following link. Warning: Phishing scam impersonating the RCMP | Royal Canadian Mounted Police

    No matter your level of cyber fitness, fraudsters will stop at nothing to steal from their victims. Your best protection against cyber threats is to learn more about them and the simple steps you can take to protect yourself. 

    To learn more about common tactics used by cyber criminals, explore the Fraudster’s toolbox infographic 

    Anyone who suspects they have been the victim of cybercrime or fraud should report it to their local police and to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre’s online reporting system or by phone at 1-888-495-8501. If not a victim, report it to the CAFC anyway.
