Email scams never stop Email purports to be from Revenue Canada C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
People are becoming more and more aware of scams and definitely thinking twice before responding to emails seeking personal information. However, if you received an email from the Canada Revenue Agency claiming you had a refund coming, you might be inclined to reply. Kimberley resident Donna Orr almost did.
Last week she received an email with the return address Canada Revenue Agency <taxrefund@craarc.gc.ca> The email was titled Claim Your Tax Refund Online and went on to say the following: We identified an error in the calculation of your tax from the last payment, amounting to $386. In order for us to return the excess payment, you need to create a Tax Gateway account after which the funds will be credited to your specified bank account. Please click “Get Started” below to claim your refund: Get Started We are here to ensure the cor-
rect tax is paid at the right time, whether this relates to payment of taxes received by the department or entitlement to benefits paid. Clicking the link takes you to a very official looking Canada Revue page, where you are asked for your date of birth, social insurance number and more. Orr said the email seemed legitimate — and tempting. But she decided to call Revenue Canada. “I checked with Revenue Canada. She said they are very aware of this fraudulent email that is circulating. She stated that Revenue Canada does not send emails.” See Page 3
