#Scammers are quick off the mark targetting Canadians.
Just got a text purporting to be from #CanadaPost saying they'll give me $50 because of the strike.
But of course, they wouldn't do that… and they wouldn't have your phone number either now would they.
Delete and ignore.
@ottaross the latest one I got recently was claiming to be from the 407 ETR being unable to send me a bill because of the strike. Convenient link provided!
@srgower they're nothing if not attentive to the news.
@ottaross "Hi, this is SATAN. Give me 0.72 BT or I will take your SOUL"
I wonder how well it would work. I've received worse attempts.
@johnefrancis lol - to their credit i didn't see any noticeable spelling mistakes, which is the usual first red flag.
@ottaross Satan has great spelling, he was educated back in the stone tablet era when spelling really mattered;
@johnefrancis @ottaross I got a Canada Post scam text about an hour after they announced the back-to-work stuff. Scammers are fast.
@johnefrancis you KNOW he'd have an AI writing all his texts.
