GIC Phishing Scam Alert
Recent news reports cite examples of Canadian depositors being scammed by criminals posing as representatives of legitimate deposit brokers acting for legitimate deposit-taking institutions.
Warning signs include ads or websites that offer to assist with finding an investment and spoofed domains that redirect you to a different website.
We are reaching out to media encouraging them to inform depositors to use our Find a Broker Search engine. Depositors using our search engine can be confident that they are connecting with deposit brokers and affiliates who have been screened, trained and tested to meet the RDBA’s professional standards for the client name deposit industry.
