Type of a scam Phishing
I got an e-mail with the subject "Interac e-transfer service, on behalf of Canada Tax sent you money" in the e-mail was the exact amount I was supposed to get from Revenue Canada. There were all the right logos and information and I do all my banking paperless so I wasn’t too thrown off. When I clicked Deposit your Money (which, when doing e-transfers with friends and family that is what it says) They asked to verify by typing in my e-mail password. Like an [censored] I typed it in. The asked for my Social Security number. Again, like an [censored] I typed that in. Then, however they told me my Social security number was wrong and they needed more info. I knew it wasn’t wrong. I also knew they "more information" they needed was not necessary because they were asking for my credit card number etc. By this point I was in panic mode because I knew I had given away two pieces of important personal information. I immediately changed my e-mail password so that eased my mind a bit. Then I got the number for the Canada Human Resource Center. It’s after 8pm so they are closed but hopefully tomorrow I’ll get some tips on what to do from them.
