Fraudulent CRA Texts and Email
Written by Jeremy Zafran on 17 November 2022
The Kahnàwake Peacekeepers have been receiving reports of a possible scam from several community members. According to complaints called-in, some residents have received text messages from what appears to be the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), offering an anti-inflation benefit. The text message identifies the recipients name, correct date of birth and social insurance number. There is also a link to a website in the message.
The Peacekeeper’s are not certain how the suspects obtained their target’s personal information, but suggest that you should not ever click any unsolicited links whether in text form or via email.
