Ever wonder why the same number keeps popping up at dusk? It’s a classic impersonation scam using the Scotiabank brand to bait victims into sharing personal data. Callers often claim urgency, cite insurance offers, and ask for full names or postal codes—signals they’ve harvested info from a data breach. The safest play is to let the call go to voicemail, block the number, and report it to your carrier or the anti‑fraud centre. Never confirm details or click follow‑up links; legitimate banks will never pressure you over the phone. Keep a log of call times to spot patterns and share it with authorities.
We've had a similar experience, with an offer that seemed too good to be true, ranging from $5,000 to $200,000
This number have been calling me every day this week
In the late afternoon, I received a call from this number and decided to pick up, only to be greeted by a woman asking for my full name. After confirming my identity, she began discussing something about insurance eligibility and a sum of $5000, but her explanation was unclear, leading me to terminate the call. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have answered, as the whole experience seemed suspicious.
