@ServiceCanada_E Real CRA audits start with a letter, never a threatening call. If a caller claims to be from CRA and demands immediate payment — hang up. Call 1-800-959-8281 directly using the number on the CRA website. DNS protection blocks the fake CRA pages too.
@GetCyberSafe Worth noting: before trusting any investment platform, verify the registrant at your provincial securities regulator. OSC in Ontario, BCSC in BC, AMF in Quebec. Unregistered platforms are the single largest vehicle for investment fraud in Canada.
@canantifraud DNS-level blocking is one layer awareness training alone can't cover — it stops the fake page from loading before a user ever sees it. No warning to click through. No popup to dismiss. Pairs well with awareness campaigns: removes the infrastructure, not just the behaviour.
Did you know caller ID can be spoofed to show your bank's real number? If someone calls about your account, hang up and call back on the number printed on your card — not the one they give you. DNS protection stops the fake banking pages. https://t.co/HPw0SxIAVD

Before trusting an online investment platform, check it at your provincial securities regulator. OSC in Ontario, BCSC in BC, AMF in Quebec. Unregistered platforms are the top vehicle for investment fraud in Canada. https://t.co/HPw0SxIAVD blocks their lookalike domains.
@canantifraud The CAFC tip line is 1-888-495-8501. Most Canadians don't know it exists. Reporting within days of an attempt lets analysts flag the number before it cycles to new victims. Even failed attempts matter — the pattern data builds the intelligence picture.
@OSFICanada Worth adding: caller ID shows your bank's number as easily as any other — it's trivially spoofed. The FCAC rule is hang up and call back on the number printed on your card, not one given by the caller. Thirty seconds of friction stops most of these calls cold.
Has someone ever called you claiming to be from the CRA and threatened immediate arrest? That call is a scam. Real CRA audits start with a letter, never a threatening phone call. A DNS blocker keeps fake CRA pages off every device in your home. https://t.co/HPw0SxIAVD

@ServiceCanada_E Lookalike domains — nearly identical to real bank or government sites — are registered hours before a fraud campaign launches. DNS filtering catches them at the infrastructure level, before any user sees a warning. One layer that bypasses the 'human error' problem.
