Be aware of scams targeting seniors using government programs.

Be cautious of anyone calling or texting you unprompted with offers of cheques or money.

Some signs of a scam are:
❌the person makes an urgent request with a deadline
❌the person requests your personal or confidential information over the phone
❌the communication is unsolicited and includes a claim to be government or bank officials

If you are unsure if a caller is legitimate:

❌do not give your banking information
❌hang up
❌call the government department directly for assistance

For seniors programs, you can call 1-866-770-0588 to get help with seniors supports and services.
