Description

I clicked on what I thought was an article from CBC News. It was an article regarding Mark Carney helping the Canadian people against Trump's tariffs. There was an interview posted as well. I truly thought it was legit. In the article Carney was talking about an app developed for the average Canadian to invest money back into Canada and see a great return. I clicked on a highlighted link to what I thought was a government link to talk about the app they created for Canadians. I fell for it.....I did not enter any information but I clicked the register now button and within 5 mins I received a call from this company **** * **** ***** ****** ******* He claimed I put in my information which I did not! They had my name, phone number and email address within seconds! I then spoke to someone else who said they were a manager and I asked for my information to be removed. Both men were incredibly rude. Company name is Muxcap which I only found out from the manager, that is who in fact they were. Tried to call the number back and it was out of service. So disappointed in myself for falling for this scam. https://watkinshill.com/aboutus/?msclkid=8cb3879820f011cd31e9ef8a11029a46
