Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in a tax‑return coat, these late‑night texts masquerade as the Canada Revenue Agency and push an Interac link. The pattern is clear: a French or English message claims a refund is ready, urges you to click a URL, and threatens to withhold funds. Since CRA never initiates deposits via e‑transfer, any unsolicited request is a red flag. Never follow unknown links, verify the claim through the agency’s official portal, and report the number to your carrier’s spam service. Keep your device’s security settings updated and consider a call‑blocking app to filter similar phishing attempts for safety today.
