Stay safe everybody!

Happening tonight!! Register using the link in original post. :)

Please be aware of the phone scam in NL This is a separate scam from those shared from the IRCC and CRA yesterday. This is a provincial scam where the caller claims to be a part of the legal branch of the government. Just because it has a local area code (such as 709) does NOT mean it is from this province. Numbers can be replicated and 'masked' over other numbers. ... Refer to yesterdays post for tips on keeping your personal information safe!

Slam the Scam! Given the recent rise in telephone and email scams surrounding SERVICE CANADA and CANADA REVENUE AGENCY (CRA), please take note of the following information for your protection. Service Canada will NEVER send or request E-Transfers of any kind. They also NEVER accept payment via giftcards (such as iTunes) or bitcoin. ...
