Ottawa warns of fake priority sports-field booking emails impersonating the city
The City of Ottawa is warning sports teams and community groups about fraudulent emails impersonating its Recreation, Cultural and Facility Services Department and offering priority reservations for sports fields and ball diamonds next season. In an October 30 notice, the city said the sender uses a Gmail account rather than an ottawa.ca address and the link does not lead to the city's official website; residents should delete the message and not click its links, and anyone who supplied personal or financial information should call Ottawa police at 613-236-1222.

Two warning signs: a Gmail sender and a link that is not the city's site
The city identified two warning signs: the sender uses a Gmail account rather than an address ending in ottawa.ca, and the included link does not lead to the city's official website. Residents are advised to delete the message and avoid clicking its links. Anyone who followed the link and supplied personal or financial information should contact the Ottawa Police Service at 613-236-1222, the notice says.
