Phishing Spam: Canada Revenue Agency
We are starting to see instances of an interesting new phishing message coming to some @math.mcmaster.ca addresses.This one purports to be from the Canada Revenue Agency and comes complete with letterhead and some pretty-much solecism-free text. But the give-away is request to open the attached file, which is a web form which asks for your credit-card information.
Simply delete the message or file it under rhpcs-mail-cleaner/spam-missed.
The text of the message follows.
