I know I was going to continue with mail account settings this week but I’ve been hearing so much about a scam to get information from you that I wanted to bring it to your attention. There’s a phishing scam where you get an email alleging to be from the CRA (Canada Revenue Service) saying that you will receive a refund but that all your information wasn’t received so in order to get the refund (I’ve heard a variety of amounts you are promised) you need to provide information including your Social Insurance Number and date of birth or, in some cases, your credit card information. Don’t fall for it. On CBC Radio’s Radio Noon today a rep from the CRA said that they never send email. You’ll receive snail mail, not email from them (even then you have to be oh so careful). So if you get such an email, ignore it.
