@chad@mstdn.ca I wouldn't reply to zero fox, but I'd inquire with the CBC whether they're aware someone claiming to represent them is committing obvious fraud.

@dragonfrog@mastodon.sdf.org @chad@mstdn.ca Yeah, I would not assume that this is legitimately representing the CBC without confirmation. It could be: there has been an issue with fake CBC stories being used for pushing scams on social media, so I could see them contracting a 3rd party to try to take fraudulent posts down.

But that post is not pretending to be anything other than discussion of the CBC's reporting. It is certainly not a trademark issue. If the CBC is paying a company that is just searching for "CBC" & sending form emails, they should know. If the company is using their name in another type of fraud scheme, they should know.
