I’m sure most people here would recognise this as fishy but I’m sharing anyway. Warn your more trusting friends and family!

    You know what the most infuriating part is? When I look up that number, I see news articles dating back to 2019 with the same scam (and same phone number!).

    That means there’s been ZERO enforcement of the law. No wonder why scammers just keep scamming.

        Ok, have a look here.

        It’s an archive of a newspaper from July 11, 2019 (The Renfrew Mercury), and you can see the same ad listed there! These guys have been playing the long game for a while.

        And if you visit their website, it totally looks like something you’d expect from a scam, and not a professional organization handling disability benefits.

        I see other similar ads posted in other newspapers (i.e Waterloo Chronicle, Wasaga Beach Sun, etc.)! You have to pretty much look up archives at this point.
