Scam warning issued by federal government
The Government of Canada is warning the public about a scam making the rounds revolving around benefit payments.
“There is disinformation online that the Government of Canada is issuing a new financial relief payment of $2,000 by direct deposit. There is no new financial relief payment,” the federal government stated.
“To avoid disinformation about government benefits or payments, refer to official Government of Canada web pages and your provincial or territorial government’s official web pages.”
Go to the recognize a scam page for more details and examples of online disinformation and scams.
Kimberley RCMP shared the warning on social media and added: “There are also text messages being sent about GST rebates and telling you to click on a link. These are all scams.”
