A reader forwarded us an email scam they received. The email appears to be from the Canada Revenue Agency, but it is not. If you click on the link they provide, you will be taken to a site that looks legit, but isn’t! They want you to enter your Social Insurance Number, Birth date, and your name. DO NOT DO IT!
