TICO Issues Alert Over Fake Registration Renewal Notices

The Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO) is warning travel industry registrants about a fraudulent email circulating that falsely claims their TICO registration is due for renewal.

According to the regulator, the email includes a link directing recipients to renew their registration.

TICO is reminding registrants that legitimate registration renewal emails are sent from [email protected] and is urging recipients to carefully check the sender's email address before clicking on any links.

Anyone who receives a suspicious email claiming to be from TICO should delete it immediately and avoid clicking links or providing personal or payment information.

Registrants who are unsure whether a communication is legitimate are encouraged to contact TICO directly rather than responding to the email.

The regulator says taking a moment to verify the sender can help protect registrants from fraudulent communications and potential information theft.

For questions or to verify an email, registrants can contact TICO at [email protected], call 905-624-6241 or toll-free at 1-888-451-TICO (8426).
