Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, the messages from +18198566713 masquerade as official Canada Revenue Agency alerts to lure you into clicking malicious links. The language mimics legitimate e‑transfer notices, yet the CRA never contacts taxpayers via text for refunds. Ignoring unknown URLs, never share personal data, and verify any claim by contacting the agency directly through its official website or phone line. Install spam‑blocking tools, report the number to your carrier, and educate family members about the hallmark signs of phishing scams. Staying skeptical and double‑checking sources can keep your finances safe.
Although the text seemed convincing, the suspicious number revealed its true nature as a potential scam.
A suspicious text message was received, purporting to be from the Canada Revenue Agency, alerting me to a supposed e-transfer and providing a link, which is likely a phishing scam.
I recieved a scam text from this number pretending to be from the CRA about a refund, asking me to click on a link (et-transfercra.cfd), what a scam, the CRA will never contact you via text, idiots
