Then I wrote my accountant<\/p>\n

Hi Barb<\/span><\/p>\n

is this legit or a scam? Why would Revenue Canada be using an @bell.ca email address?<\/span>
\n b<\/span><\/p>\n

Then she responded<\/p>\n

this is a scam<\/span>
\n \u00a0<\/span>
\n Barb<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maybe suspicious besides it coming from an @Bell.ca email account is the fact that if Revenue Canada was emailing me about a refund shouldn’t they already have my SIN #? Maybe this is one of those reasons I was told growing up never to give out my SIN #? Maybe somehow these people would use that info to rule the world.<\/p>\n

Well I foiled them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
