Fraudsters are obtaining personal tax information from various sources, such as fake bank account logins or compromised CRA MyAccount credentials.

🚨Here is another New Deepfake Scam this time Featuring Pierre Poilievre 🚨

Attention, Valued Clients:

Scammers are now using deepfake technology to impersonate Pierre Poilievre, creating convincing videos where he appears to endorse fraudulent investment schemes.

These deepfakes are complemented by fake social media profiles that like and comment on these posts, claiming great success with the investment. However, upon closer inspection, you’ll find that these profiles are newly created and pretending to be from various locations across Canada.

**How to Protect Yourself:**

1. **Verify the Source:** Always confirm the legitimacy of the information by visiting official government websites or contacting relevant government offices directly.

2. **Scrutinize Profiles:** Be wary of reviews and comments from new social media accounts or profiles with little to no personal history.

3. **Look for Red Flags:** Scammers often use high-pressure tactics and unrealistic promises to lure victims.

4. **Report Suspicious Activity:** If you encounter such a video or any other form of scam, report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre immediately.

🚨 Public Service Announcement: Beware of Deepfake Scams Impersonating Politicians 🚨

**Attention, Valued Clients:**

I’m are issuing an urgent warning about a new type of online scam that has recently emerged. Scammers are using advanced deepfake technology to create fraudulent advertisements featuring impersonations of Canadian politicians, including Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland.

These deepfakes are highly convincing, using AI to mimic the voice and appearance of well-known figures. A recent scam involves a deepfake video of Chrystia Freeland promoting a fake investment scheme allegedly backed by the Canadian government. While the video may initially appear legitimate, it contains misleading information designed to defraud unsuspecting individuals.

**How to Protect Yourself:**

1. **Verify the Source:** Always confirm the authenticity of the information by visiting official government websites or contacting relevant government offices directly.

2. **Be Skeptical of Unsolicited Offers:** If an investment opportunity seems too good to be true or is unsolicited, it is likely a scam.

3. **Identify Red Flags:** Look out for signs such as poor grammar, unrealistic promises, and pressure to act quickly.

4. **Report Suspicious Activity:** If you encounter such a video or any other form of scam, report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre immediately.

Your safety and security are our top priority. Stay informed and protect yourself against these sophisticated scams.
