Spotting Scams in Emails, Texts, and Calls

Description

Additional Information

In December 2025, a Regina grandmother received a sobbing phone call from her "granddaughter" claiming she was in jail. The voice was identical—down to the specific mannerisms—but it was actually an AI clone created from a 3-second social media clip. She nearly lost $7,000.

In July, Saskatchewan residents were targeted by fake investment ads using deepfake videos of Premier Scott Moe. And just last month, thousands of Canadians received "Carbon Rebate" text messages that looked 100% legitimate but drained bank accounts in minutes.

Fraud is no longer just about typos. It has evolved into high-tech psychological warfare.
