Scam calls and fraud
If a caller claims to be your bank, your phone company, or a government agency and asks for money, codes, or card numbers: hang up. Then call the number printed on your card or statement, not a number the caller gave you.
Report it
The reporting routes for Canada and the US, plus a protect-a-parent checklist for family members who get these calls, are on our Report fraud page. The free academy lesson Anatomy of a scam call walks through how these calls work, so the next one is easier to spot.
Do Not Call lists
Registering with your country's Do Not Call list stops legitimate telemarketers. Criminal scammers ignore it, which is one reason removing your number from data brokers matters: every listing removed is one less place your number is sold from. Removing listings is what the service does.
