慎防騙案
騙案一: 多倫多公營房屋
有多倫多公營房屋住戶最近收到騙徒來電，聲稱能夠為住戶購買食品。騙徒其跟著從對話中騙取住戶的信用卡或銀行資料。我們呼籲切勿相信這些來電者的身份，多倫多公營房屋機構從來不會要求住戶提供信用卡或銀行資料的。
騙案二: 電話短信騙案
有本省居民收到騙徙有關新緊急資助金的短信。 如果您收到與以下類似的文字，請不要點擊或回復。政府官方網站是你尋找資訊是最可靠的方法。
短信例子:
「Alert: The emergency response benefit of Canada relief fund has sent you a depot for $1,375.50. See emergencycanadaresponse. Data rates may apply.」
切勿點擊
「Emergencycanadaresponse」
