Canada Revenue Agency

Received an e-mail today from (CRA) Canada Revenue Agency with a refund form attachment. The e-mail read I am entitled to a $248.25 refund. I have to just click here and fill out the form then wait for my refund. My question is does Canada usually send out refunds to former Minnesotans? I know we share borders so it could be real. maybe?

And, what information is the "CRA" asking you for?

the cra does not communicate through e-mails. they do it by snail mail. in any event, they would have either sent a cheque or deposited it in your bank account if that's the way you get refunds.
IT'S A PHISHING SCAM TO GET PERSONAL INFO FROM YOU. GET RID OF IT AND BLOCK IT. IT IS NOT THE CRA!

Thanks Pedro
I know nothing about Canada's taxmen so I was surprised about the refund and thought I would ask. I won't open it.

Yes, it is a scam. I posted in another thread that I received a similar e-mail a few weeks ago. I had my accountant in Canada check it out and he told me not to respond.
