  • BEWARE OF CYBERCRIMINALS IMPERSONATING THE ATLANTIC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

     

    Be on alert if you receive an email from someone claiming to be a lawyer or barrister from the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce.

    Cybercriminals are using different versions of the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce’s corporate name and logo, and sending fake phishing emails with fake IDs and documents about inheritance claims in an attempt to trick you into sending them money. They also may be using fake websites, SMS texts, or phone calls.

    Do not click on any links, send any personal information, or engage with anyone claiming to be a lawyer or barrister from the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce who contacts you using an email address that is from a free email service (e.g., Gmail, AOL, Yahoo). 

    The Atlantic Chamber of Commerce is NOT a LAW FIRM. We do not provide legal services of any kind.

  • The Atlantic Chamber of Commerce does not provide legal services and does not represent individuals in legal matters of any kind (e.g., inheritance, trusts, estate proceedings), nor do any of our employees. We will never ask for anyone’s personal financial information. 

     

    If you have received emails from someone indicating they are a member of the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce team, or that they are an Atlantic Chamber of Commerce attorney, lawyer, solicitor or barrister, then you may be a victim of an attempt at fraud.

     

    To report fraud, contact Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or contact your local police force and or Canada’s national police force, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

  • Tips to avoid email phishing scams:

    • Be wary of unexpected emails that contain links or attachments. Do not click on links or open files in unfamiliar emails.
    • Don’t believe what you see. Scammers can fake anything from a company logo to the sent email address.
    • Check the company’s website. Businesses typically post information on their websites.
    • Be cautious of generic emails. Always be wary of messages that seem overly general.
