Those telephone calls, from someone purporting to be from the Canada Revenue Agency, always become more common at tax time.
The CRA’s Daljeet Grewal says the Agency will call some taxpayers from time to time but there’s a good chance you will know why…..
Grewal says you can always hang up on the caller and call the CRA back on a published number (1-800-959-8281) to ensure you are talking to a legitimate Agency person.
As for other forms of contact, Grewal says the CRA will never text you.
However, they will use email from time to time when there is new information on your file but those emails will never ask for financial information.
