Are you receiving emails insisting you click on a link? Text messages promising a benefit payment or refund? Phone calls threatening to send the police if you don’t pay up?
Not only are all of these really annoying, they are all signs of scams!
Scammers continue to pose as the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and other government departments and agencies, to trick you into giving them money or personal information. Unfortunately, they’re still having some success. The amount of money that people have lost to scams and fraud has increased over the years.
