Avoid being scammed by fraudulent communication claiming to be from government agencies, service providers and financial institutions. Recent examples include: calls and e-mails alleging to be the Canada Revenue Agency, either about an error in a tax return that requires immediate payment to avoid an arrest warrant, or about a refund individuals can claim by clicking a link. Or, a text message alleging an e-transfer refund for an overpayment from Bell Mobility. In most cases, callers demand money or items of monetary value, like pre-paid credit cards or retail purchase cards, and further intimidate citizens by making aggressive threats, which scare people into paying money to those pretending to be representing government organizations. These individuals have also been known to e-mail citizens, asking them to verify their identity by entering personal information, or ask citizens to visit a link to claim money that is owed back to them. Please be extremely cautious of these phishing scams which can result in financial and identity theft. Government organizations, financial institutions and service providers do not conduct account-related business in this manner. If you doubt the authenticity of a call, hang up immediately and phone the organization back directly to verify. You should also call the organization directly to verify any suspicious e-mails or text messages. Fraudulent activity should then be reported to police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or online at www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca. Visit the Canada Revenue Agency - https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/news/newsroom/tax-tips/tax-tips-2018/what-to-expect-cra-contacts-you.html and Bell - https://support.bell.ca/billing-and-accounts/security_and_privacy/how_to_protect_yourself_from_telecom_fraud?step=3 for further information on these types of scams and how to protect yourself.

CBRM roads are snow-covered and further snow and forecast winds could impact visibility throughout the afternoon. If you need to be out and about on the roads, please take your time, use extra caution and drive for the conditions. If you don't need to be driving, enjoy the comfort of home until conditions improve. And, remember: winter parking regulations are in effect to help with snow clearing efforts. In addition to overnight hours, please do not park on streets during snowfall so that Public Works crews can do their jobs clearing roadways; any vehicles obstructing snow plows will be ticketed and towed. Thank you for cooperating!

Stay prepared for quickly changing road conditions in today's weather and adjust your driving: slow down, give yourself lots of distance and extra travel time. And make sure your vehicles are clear of snow and ice.
