Beware of email scams
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is warning the public to beware of email scams that are falsely identified as coming from the CRA. The CRA advises individuals who receive the unsolicited emails to delete them immediately. Do not go to the websites listed in the messages as some of these sites contain harmful software.
