Stop everything if…

• You're asked to buy or transfer crypto on someone else's behalf, using your own money.
• Someone promises guaranteed, risk-free or unusually high returns.
• You're given a deadline: “you must act today”, “your account will be frozen”.
• A supposed broker, advisor or employer asks you to open an account on a Canadian platform and send crypto somewhere else.
• A “recovery service”, “investigator” or “lawyer” contacts you to get your money back.
• You're offered a job over WhatsApp, Telegram or text, with no real interview.
• A stranger messages you on Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp, or sends a “wrong number” text.
• You're told to pay “fees”, “taxes” or a “deposit” to withdraw your gains.
• You're asked to install AnyDesk or TeamViewer, or to share your screen.
• Your “bank” or the “police” asks you to move your money to “protect” it.
