It’s tax season. And the scam artists are out in full force.

I received this in my email this morning:

Yeah. For sure. Canada Revenue Agency is going to send an email with a generic heading to a “Taxpayer” asking me to complete and return a form. You can be sure I didn’t bother to open the attachments.

SPAM. The nuisance that just won’t go away.
