    Did you know that in 2020, about 41,000 Canadians fell victim to fraud and CRA scams, which cost them over $107 million collectively? That’s $11 million more than the amount lost to fraud in 2019.
    If you are not one of the thousands of fraud victims, it doesn’t mean you will never be.
    It’s important to take a preemptive approach and learn about these scams before you learn by experience.
    I’ve created this guide to help you learn more about the eight most common CRA scams and how you can avoid them.
    What Are CRA Scams?
    CRA scams are simply scams perpetrated using the name of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). As the country’s main revenue agency and taxation body, the CRA’s name carries a lot of weight and legitimacy.
    Because of this, scams that use the CRA’s name usually yield good results for perpetrators. People often don’t usually investigate too much when they believe that they are receiving money and that the CRA is simply calling to confirm their credentials or identifiable information.
    Despite the CRA continually informing Canadians about tell-tale signs of communications that legitimately come from the department, scammers still manage to find ways to fool people.
    Still, with proper care and a little healthy suspicion for every bit of communication that asks for your identifiable information or financial details, you can avoid falling victim to some of the most common CRA scams.

    Cra holding my refund for years claiming I don't pay HST on my business. I haven't been registered for 8 years & they still hold it. Isn't that calling the kettle black. Really wish I could talk to a legitimate employee not hired by Harper. That's where the trouble started.

    I really wish you would make many many more videos. You are amazing at explaining all things about trading and investing and stocks and other stuff. I came across you on a web site and followed you here to your utube page . And I gotta tell u, I was disappointed to see that the last video you made was the end of MARCH???? Trying to make my way through this nightmare of information and the fear also of scammers makes this adventure scary. I don't have much money to work with but I am ready to try and do some things. You truly are a good teacher and I wish u would make more videos.

      Sounds like it might be a scam, but call the CRA directly to ask! (get their number from their official page)

    Please make some passive income videos for international students. We don't have too much time and can't have much physical stuff.......thanks in advance.😊
    Also, do put some hashtag such as #passive income , #canada, #international student etc in your videos as this may get your videos more views. I searched for passive income canada and this showed up as there was #canada......hope this helps.
