Did you get a text with your personal info that claims to be from CRA? It's a scam | CBC News
Tax season is here and with it, a new scam. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre says it involves a text message, containing a person's name and personal info, that appears to come from the Canada Revenue Agency. The warning comes as Ontario Provincial Police launch Anti-Fraud Prevention Month.

Talking about banks, let me tell you a short story of my interactions with Idea Bank (PL), which — as far as I can see — went bankrupt already (yay).
A long time ago, I moved my account to this bank, because it had a good offer for microcompanies. Later on, I moved somewhere else, for reasons I don't remember, but I didn't regret it. I've kept the old account for a while but then decided to close it as a "cleanup". So I went to the branch, and with the help of the consultant (or however these people are called there), filed a termination. So far, so good.
Before the obligatory notice period, I got mail that they are changing the terms and the accounts will no longer be free. They also made it very clear that since they're dealing with a company, consumer rights don't apply, I can't terminate immediate because of terms changing, and of course the new (paid) terms start applying faster than the usual notice period. I thought: good, that I filed my termination earlier.
A few days past the notice period, I decided to check that everything went fine. So I'm trying to sign in… and my account is still open! I call the damned helpline, and what do I learn? That my termination has been rejected because "they don't have my "signature specimen card".
Let me make this clear: I went to the branch in person, the consultant supposedly confirmed everything's fine, but it turned out it weren't, and they even didn't bother informing it about the rejection.
So back to the branch, fill the "signature specimen card", update the ID card while at it, another termination, and a complaint about the prior service while at it. Do I have to point out how awful it is that in order to make them stop processing my personal data, I have to actually provide more personal data (new ID)?
Finally, they closed the account, sent a reply via postal mail, and didn't charge anything for the time the new regulations applied. At least that.
I would wholeheartedly advise against that #bank, only that it seems that it's already gone.
