What is phishing?

Phishing occurs when fraudsters use tactics to trick you into sharing your personal information or clicking on website links. Often times, you’ll see what appears to be an email or text message from a recognizable institution or company, but in reality, it is designed to obtain your personal or financial information.

The OPP urges individuals and businesses to remain vigilant to instances of fraud. Remember to carefully verify email addresses and to confirm the legitimacy of any payment request by telephone before transferring funds, even if the request appears to come from a trusted client or associate.

If you suspect fraudulent activity or have been a victim of fraud, report it immediately to your local police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501, or online at reportcyberandfraud.canada.ca.
