Consumers beware of fake FSRA invoices

It has come to our attention that consumers are receiving fake invoices using the FSRA logo and mailing address. These invoices ask for a cash e-transfer using a private email address. FSRA will never request an e-transfer. This means that if you receive a request to e-transfer money to FSRA, it’s likely a fraudster targeting you. In one instance the invoice references “International Financial Regulatory Authority / Anti-Money Laundering”. FSRA is the financial services regulator for Ontario and is not an international organization.

If you receive an invoice that appears to be from FSRA, before making any payment, confirm its authenticity by contacting the FSRA call centre by phone at 1-800-668-0128 or by email at [email protected]. If you believe you may have been a victim of financial fraud due to a suspicious invoice, you may wish to contact your local law enforcement and your personal financial institution.
