The College would like to remind registrants to be vigilant with their emails and online security. This reminder is a result from another regulatory body being a target of an email phishing scam earlier this year.
Email phishing is the widely accepted term for email fraud; these are emails designed to persuade recipients to give sensitive personal information via email and/or install a computer virus to steal this information off of your device.
These emails will often contain several links, and a possible threat (e.g. your registration will be suspended if you do not comply).
The College of Pharmacists of BC will never ask you to provide sensitive personal information – such as social insurance number or banking information – via email.
Please report any suspicious email to the College by forwarding it to [email protected] with the subject line “Email Phishing”. Do not open any attachments or click any links.
It is important to stay connected to the College as email is our primary method of communication.
Pursuant to s.54(2) of the Health Professions Act – Bylaws, registrants must notify the College immediately of any name change, address, telephone number, or email.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
