CRA/iTunes Scam
I know this scam has been around for awhile, and that most beyonders would never fall for it, however in the past week we have had 3 cases of seniors come into my store to buy large amounts of iTunes gift cards to supposedly pay back taxes after receiving a phone call from someone claiming to work with the CRA. In the first 2 instances a staff member realized what was happening and stopped the transaction, informing the customer why. Unfortuanetly in the third case the customer purchased $1800 in gc, and went to another store and bought an additional $3200. She is now out $5000 cash. There is a reason they are targeting seniors. Please talk to your parents/grandparents and make sure they are aware of the scam:-)
