The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is
warning taxpayers to beware of a recent scam where some Canadians are receiving
a letter fraudulently identified as coming from the CRA and asking for personal
information. The letter is not from the CRA.
The letter claims that there is “insufficient
information” for the individual’s tax return and that in order to receive any
“claims,” they will have to update their records. The letter attaches a form
specifically requesting the individual’s personal information in writing, via
fax or email, including information on bank accounts and passports. This letter
is not from the CRA and Canadians should not provide their personal information
to the sender.
