So, I've received another batch of identity-theft spam, targeting #Canada #Canadian #Canadians with #investment -related #IdentityTheft #scams.

The messages direct the target to update their US IRS W-8BEN forms, which require that you enter a bunch of personal information, and are probably stealing login and password and #2FA codes to get access to investment accounts.

Remind your family and friends, especially the elderly and non-tech-savvy folks to NEVER click links in eMails from banks or investment companies.

The targets this week are #TDBank, #NationalBank, but they have previously attempted to impersonate #Questrade and #RBC and #wealthsimple

#InfoSec #Security #Scam #Fraud

Been a #simpletax enjoyer for several years (I even pay for it every year) but I've only just now started dipping my toes into the #Wealthsimple side of things.

I'm frankly impressed, so far.
