Local RCMP are telling residents from Thompson and surrounding areas to be aware of a recent internet scam.

People claiming to be from the Canadian Revenue Agency are sending email letters looking for personal information so a refund can be processed for the recipient of the email.

The Canadian Revenue Agency DOES NOT contact anyone through email.  Their representatives will only contact you by phone or through regular mail.   

If you’ve got concerns or questions, you can contact the Canadian Revenue Agency at their website at www.cra-arc.gc.ca.

If you feel you may have been scammed or a scam has been attempted, contact the RCMP at 677-6909.
