Scotiabank spoof scam call—how to protect yourself!
Summary — +14169410385
Expert Opinion
Imagine answering a ring that says it’s from Scotiabank and then pushes life‑insurance or asks for credit‑card details. The pattern in these reports points to a classic spoofed scam: the caller pretends to be a bank, uses a prerecorded script, and often hangs up when you push back. Never share personal or financial info on an unsolicited call, and always verify by calling the institution’s official number. Use your phone’s spam‑filter or a third‑party blocker, and report the number to your carrier and the Canadian Anti‑Fraud Centre. Keep a log of call times and let the real bank know if you suspect fraud.

No voicemail, just a creepy silence. My phone says it's a Scotiabank scam call, so I'm stearing clear.
Wednesdays seam to be the day for these guys. I've been geting calls from 'em on the 30th, 6th, and 13th, but they never leave a message. Guess they're not interesed in talking to me after all.
