اختبار الموضوع 1: How scams work: tactics and warning signs

  1. السؤال 1 من 16

    A scammer does not break into a computer. Instead, they trick the person using it into giving access. What is this approach called?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: A. Social engineering

    Social engineering works on people, not machines, to get information, access or money.

  2. السؤال 2 من 16

    A message says, "Reply in the next 30 minutes or your account will be closed." Which pressure tactic is this?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: B. Urgency

    A tight deadline is urgency. It is meant to stop you from pausing to check.

  3. السؤال 3 من 16

    A caller says he is a police officer and that you will be arrested today unless you pay. Which tactics is he using?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: C. Authority and threats

    Claiming to be police uses authority, and the arrest warning is a threat. The Cyber Centre lists both as social engineering tactics.

  4. السؤال 4 من 16

    Which payment request is a strong sign of a scam?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: D. Paying a "fine" with gift cards

    Scammers ask for gift cards and prepaid cards because the money is hard to trace and hard to get back.

  5. السؤال 5 من 16

    Why do scammers often ask to be paid in cryptocurrency?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: A. In most cases the payment cannot be reversed

    The CAFC warns that cryptocurrency payments in most cases cannot be reversed, so the money is usually lost.

  6. السؤال 6 من 16

    According to the Cyber Centre's National Cyber Threat Assessment 2025-2026, how are cybercriminals almost certainly using large language models (AI chatbots)?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: C. To improve social engineering attacks such as phishing

    The assessment says cybercriminals are almost certainly using LLMs to improve social engineering, including personal phishing emails at scale.

  7. السؤال 7 من 16

    Which kind of phishing does the National Cyber Threat Assessment 2025-2026 say has one of the highest reported levels of financial impact on victims?

    Spear phishing targets specific people or organizations and has one of the highest reported financial impacts.

  8. السؤال 8 من 16

    According to the Cyber Centre, what does voice cloning need to copy someone's voice?
    أظهر الإجابة

  9. السؤال 9 من 16

    Get Cyber Safe lists warning signs that a message or call may be AI-generated. Which is one of them?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: B. A voice call that sounds robotic or "off"

    Get Cyber Safe lists overly polished messages, voice calls that sound robotic or off, and suspiciously urgent content.

  10. السؤال 10 من 16

    Why do scammers often tell you to keep a request secret?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: D. So no one can warn you that it is a scam

    Secrecy, such as a fake "gag order", cuts you off from people who would spot the scam.

  11. السؤال 11 من 16

    Where do scammers often find the personal details that make their messages seem real?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: C. In things people post publicly on social media

  12. السؤال 12 من 16

    What is "quid pro quo" in social engineering?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: D. Offering a service or benefit in return for information or a task

    In quid pro quo, the attacker offers something, like free tech help, and asks for sensitive information or a task in return.

  13. السؤال 13 من 16

    What is "scareware"?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: A. A fake warning that scares you into a harmful step

    The Cyber Centre describes scareware as an attempt to scare you into believing your device is at risk so you take a harmful action.

  14. السؤال 14 من 16

    Read the message. Which tactics does it use?

    Message in a chat app, from "Jordan (Hockey Team)":

    Hey! Coach asked me to collect for the tournament bus. Can you send $60 by e-transfer to this new email: jordan.bus2026@mailbox.example? My usual account is locked. Need it by noon, sorry for the rush!

    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: D. Familiarity and urgency

    It uses a friendly, familiar name and a noon deadline. A new payment address is another warning sign.

  15. السؤال 15 من 16

    Read the message. What is the safest next step?

    Hey! Coach asked me to collect for the tournament bus. Can you send $60 by e-transfer to this new email: jordan.bus2026@mailbox.example? My usual account is locked. Need it by noon, sorry for the rush!

    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: C. Contact Jordan or the coach using a number you already have

ما يجب معرفته قبل الاختبار

  • Fraud and scams are almost certainly the most common form of cybercrime affecting Canadians, and spear phishing has one of the highest reported levels of financial impact on victims.
  • Cybercriminals are almost certainly using AI language models to improve social engineering, and AI tools can create realistic audio and video that impersonate trusted people.
  • Voice cloning uses AI and short audio samples to copy a voice. The Cyber Centre suggests safe words or call-back codes, and calling back on a known, trusted number.
  • The CRA will not demand immediate payment by e-transfer, cryptocurrency, prepaid cards or gift cards, and it will not threaten to arrest or deport you.
  • The CRA only sends text messages for multi-factor authentication, and it does not send refunds or payments by e-transfer or text.
  • The Canadian criminal justice system does not allow someone to be bailed out of jail with cash or cryptocurrency.
  • Forwarding a scam text to 7726 (SPAM) is free and alerts your cellular provider.
  • Fraud can be reported to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at reportcyberandfraud.canada.ca or 1-888-495-8501 (weekdays, 10 am to 4:45 pm Eastern time), whether you are a victim or not.

الأسئلة الشائعة

Is this an official certification?

No. Passing the final assessment gives you a PassEveryTest Certificate of Completion, which shows you finished this general skills course. It is not an accredited qualification or a vendor, employer or government certification, and it does not replace training your employer requires.

How does the final assessment work?

It has 35 questions drawn at random from the course question bank, with a 35-minute time limit. You need 80% to pass, and each attempt gives you a new mix of questions.

How is this different from a general cybersecurity awareness course?

This course goes deeper on scams only: many more realistic messages and calls to practise on, government and bank impersonation, job scams, AI voice cloning, and how to verify and report. It does not cover topics like passwords or backups in detail.

What should I do if I think a caller is a scammer right now?

Hang up. Then call the organization or person back using a number you find yourself, such as the one on your bank card, the official website or your own contacts, not a number the caller gave you.

Where do I report a scam in Canada?

If you lost money, contact your financial institution and local police first. Report any scam or attempt to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre online or at 1-888-495-8501, and forward scam texts to 7726.

هل الشهادة معتمدة أو معترف بها رسميًا؟

لا. إنها شهادة إتمام خاصة للمعرفة فقط. وهي غير معترف بها أو معتمدة أو موافق عليها من أي حكومة أو جهة ترخيص أو هيئة تنظيمية أو مؤسسة تعليمية، ولا تحل محل أي رخصة أو شهادة أو تدريب يفرضه القانون.
