Expert Opinion

Earlier today, a surge of texts from +16472279533 pretended to be bank notifications, many citing Tangerine or CIBC and urging users to click short links for account verification. These messages are classic phishing attempts; legitimate banks never request personal data via SMS. If you receive such a note, do not tap the link, reply, or provide credentials. Verify the claim by contacting the institution through an official website or phone number you already have. Consider reporting the number to your carrier’s spam department and to the Canadian Anti‑Fraud Centre. Enable two‑factor authentication and keep your mobile operating system updated to reduce risk.
