The Better Business Bureau is calling for businesses to be vigilant after a series of reported phishing attacks.
The B-B-B says it has received calls from a number of B-C businesses about attempts made through e-mail or text to give up trademark information.
The bureau is warning businesses to always verify if the messages on trademarks are coming from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office.
It also warns that businesses should never send personal information to a suspicious e-mail address or a stranger.
