Re: Z reprimanted me
Err, it's probably just a phishing site, Variol.
Why would the Canada Revenue Agency contact you by e-mail to tell you about a refund?

Re: Z reprimanted me
Phishing scams are known for creating extremely accurate recreations of the real site. You said the address typed is accurate, but the question is where that link will actually send you. Will it send you to your country's revenue service, or a cunning duplicate?

Re: Z reprimanted me
Variol, there are no free lunches. If it looks to good to be true, it is. How long have you been online? Sorry, that's not fair,,,,,it is a GOOD thing that you are letting the IW peeps vet these things, Ok?

Re: Z reprimanted me
I think Variol was aware that wasn't legit... it raised enough flags for him. That's good... it's amazing how many others fall prey to these things, whether phishing or good old-fashioned hoaxes.
I wish I had a dime for every time someone responded to an email with "Well, I sent it because if it was true, I'd want to know..." or some variation thereof. And yes, I threw that word in there for the other grammar police out there... If it *WERE* true, others would be talking about it. *SINCE* it's not, you're just polluting the internet. Go pee in some other pool, wouldja? And see you for dinner on Sunday, right, Mom?
