My 407 ETR bill included an alert about the increase of scams. There was one being sent to users of the 407.
What was good was the number to call them if needed.
They also included the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.
The link to the Centre was included.
Antifraudcentre
So be aware of the increase in scams during this difficult time.
Remember when under stress we all tend to think less clearly.
So get in the habit of double checking, talking with someone else or call any company or service to their direct number you find in a website or on the back of your credit card etc.
If a phone call, either hang up or say you will call your local police for clarification getting a name and phone number. But just hanging up is the best option.
Scammers want to catch us off guard. Stress keeps us off guard. So just be wary of everything and you will be safe.
Basically don't trust anyone. Not even your mother. Well maybe your mother is okay!!!
