There is a new scam taking place in our area.

The new version is similar to the false calls from the Canada Revenue Agency except it comes by email. The email contains official CRA letterhead and states you are eligible for a tax return. However, before the refund can be issued, you need to fill out an attached form that asks for a lot of personal information.

Brockville Police advise people not to react to these emails. Contact the CRA directly if you receive anything by email that raises alarms. Never give out your personal information.
