New Scam Alert take a few minutes and read this post, it could save you or someone thousands $$. There is a new CRA scam on the rise. It is a fake CRA demand letter saying that if you do not pay, they will put a lien on your house. The letter looks very legitimate and even contains the last 3 digits of your SIN. They include a slip to pay your supposed balance owing at the bank. That payment slip contains coding/routing on the bottom which directs your money to a non-CRA ...bank account.
