🚨 Scam alert! 🚨

Scammers are sending messages saying your tax return has errors and sending you a link to download a revised notice of assessment.

They also tell you that the notice isn’t available in your CRA account and that you have a limited time to download it.

What to do:

✔️ don’t click on any links or buttons
✔️ don’t download or open any attachments
✔️ don’t reply to the message
✔️ view your personal income tax and benefit info online in your CRA account
✔️ report the scam
