How to check it's really Canadian Web Designs
Someone is sending emails that pretend to be Amir Khela and Canadian Web Designs. Here is how to tell a real message from a fake one before you pay anything.
How we bill you
Our invoices come from QuickBooks, from Canadian Website Designs Inc., with a Pay Now button. Paying with that button is the safest way: the money goes straight onto your invoice.
If you pay by Interac e-Transfer, send it only to
etransfer
Before you confirm, your banking app shows the recipient's name. It must say
CANADIAN WEBSITE DESIGNS INC.
If it shows any other name, stop and call us at (647) 689-6069.
We never ask you to pay a new account, change our banking details by email, or pay upfront for a ‘website review’ or ‘priority plan’.
Amir never asks you for payment
Amir Khela does not email clients about invoices or payments. An email from ‘Amir’ asking you to pay is fake, even if it shows his name, his photo and our logo.

New ones may appear. They copy our signature and our real addresses into their emails, so a familiar signature proves nothing.

Call your bank right away and ask them to open a fraud claim on the e-Transfer. Give them the reference number and the recipient name you saw.
