Fraud Friday: Reports of tax return fraud

The Thunder Bay Police Service is advising the public about a potential tax return scam.
 
Officers have received reports from residents who were contacted by an individual claiming to represent the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
 
In these reports, a caller tells the person they are owed a tax refund and direct them to log into a website to claim it.
 
The resident is then prompted to enter personal banking information, into a website which is then obtained by the scammer.
