Consumer Alert (November/December 2009) – Fake Aviva cheques attempt to
defraud consumers
Canadian Consumers are advised of a current fraud scheme. Cheques containing the Aviva logo and markings are being sent to consumers, along with a letter explaining that the funds are a reimbursement of taxes to be paid on non-existent cash prizes.
Please note that these cheques are fake and do not originate from Aviva Canada Inc. or any Aviva affiliated company – do not cash these cheques.
The fraud scheme also uses logos and mentions of other well-known consumers brands.
How such frauds typically work
· Consumers are asked to contact an agent responsible for the winnings.
· During contact, consumers will be asked for pre-payment of the taxes on the
winnings with the promise that the cheque from Aviva will pay them back.
· Once payment is made to the agent, all contact will cease and the cheque they
sent to you will not clear.
This is an attempt to steal your money.
Any consumer receiving such correspondence is asked to contact the Aviva
Ombudsman at ombudsman@avivacanada.com or 1-877-689-3634 Ext #43634.

Mounted Police website.
