We received this e-mail at work today, and I thought I would share it on this forum for the other Canadians to see: Some Canadians are receiving e-mails fraudulently identified as coming from the Department of Finance Canada that promise a tax refund if an appended form is filled in and returned. The e-mail is not from the Department of Finance Canada. There is no such refund. Do NOT fill in the form, as it will compromise your credit card and social insurance information. If you receive this e-mail, simply delete it. The appropriate law enforcement authorities have been notified. Below is the link to the actual alert and a copy of the fraudulent e-mail. http://www.fin.gc.ca/fraud_e.html (English) http://www.fin.gc.ca/fraud_f.html (French)
