I received this today from my financial planners at Manulife Bank, but their warnings are relevant to every financial institution.

"We will never:
‌1. Ask for your password, two-factor authentication code (2FA), or PIN by phone, email, or text.
2. Request personal information, money or recommend specific investments through social media or messaging apps.
3. Ask you to keep a security matter confidential from family members or law enforcement."

REMEMBER, NEVER SIGN IN ANYWHERE VIA A PROVIDED LINK, NEVER REVEAL YOUR PASSWORD AND ALWAY BE SUSPICIOUS! 99% OF SCAMS CAN BE STOPPED IN THE FIRST 10 SECONDS!

Everyday, our scammer friends get more and more creative, now even impersonating the Toronto Police Service!!

TRUST NO ONE!!! If you receive this call and you are still unsure, perhaps you had sometyhing real that you reported to the police, get their name, badge number and division, AND YOU LOOK THAT UP SEPERATELY, NEVER CALL A NUMBER PROVIDED!!

Make sure your Iphones are set to:
1. not share name and photo
2. make sure that your "Screen Unknown Callers is set to either "ask for a reason for calling" or "Silence", real calls will leave voicemail, scammers very rarely do.
** Android phones have very similar settings**

It is very sad that this is the world that we now live in, but all we can do is be prepared to protect ourselves.

The impersonator provides an officer’s name and a badge number, before asking for financial information, Toronto police warned.

This email came earlier today, it's clearly a scam!

How do we know this?? The first thing is, do I even use cloud storage? I do, but it's not service! SCAM!

More importantly, look at the source email address, have you even heard of this company?
