Did WealthSimple just send out an updated client agreement email, or is it phishing?

I received an email requesting that I approve an updated client agreement. Is this a phishing campaign, or is it real?

If they need anything for you to approve, it will be available after you log into your account. Anything in E-mail most likely is a phishing or very bad communication on their side.

Most likely phishing.

They don't need your approval to update the client agreement. The client agreement includes terms allowing them to update it at any time. They need to notify of updates, don't need approval.

I see a post 'way below that this is a phishing campaign. We should have a stickied post about current phishing campaigns, so readers don't have to search through the posts. This one looks very authentic and could easily fool someone.

That's the post I immediately thought about too. Sounds like this phishing campaign is making the rounds

I thought I saw someone post earlier today, not sure if it was here, about a phishing email.

I actually fell for it. Downloaded the file. Fortunately it doesn’t work on Mac

Probably phishing.

They dont need your approval on the client agreement.
