Did anybody receive the same message from the CRA? If yes, do you know the reason why (fear of hackers?)?
"This email address has been removed from your Canada Revenue Agency account.
You will no longer receive email notifications to this email address.
This is an automated email message. Please do not reply."

Oh darn, I forgot to mention that to the best of my memory the only emails I got from the CRA is to alert me to log in to my CRA account. No more details than that.
(I hope they don't also delete my residential home address and/or my telephone number.)

Nope ... I don't know anything about that ⬆.
But if you haven't done so already, I'd change my CRA Account Password

If you can login, might be worth checking what, if any, email address is on file. While you're at it, check everything else in your profile.

Wow. I get nothing from CRA by Canada Post. Any mailing to me, I must login to my CRA account and then download/print the document. Notification to do so is by “email”!
So @COIN did this notification suggest what to do, in lieu of? Are you sure it’s from CRA and were there any links in the email? If yes, don’t open them.

The email from the CRA simply say "check your CRA account" or words to that effect, no more details than that.

Here is the exact wording of the email from the CRA.
"This email address has been removed from your Canada Revenue Agency account.
You will no longer receive email notifications to this email address."

Yesterday I had 2 scam calls from Service Canada saying that my SIN had been suspended or?
First call I connected with them and they asked why am I calling. I responded, you called me…do what’s up….they hung up.
Second call, minutes later, I said hello and they hung up.
I suspect it’s a scam.
Can you click on and see what the full “sending” email was?
Then do a screen shot at post it.
To be clear of mind…..
1. Log on to CRA and see what email and phone numbers are in your profile.
2. Call Service Canada or CRA or visit a local Canada Services office if you have one nearby.
What ever you do….DON’T reply to the email.

Service Canada does not suspend SIN. Has anyone actually gotten through to a CRA agent by phone?

You have to keep your phone charging all the time while waiting (for hours) for somebody to answer as they are 'serving other valuable customers'....

I am a bit confused. If someone got an email or some kind of odd message supposedly from CRA or Service Canada, why would that person not simply login to their CRA or SC account and validate/verify if anything is going on?

Yes, I actually logged in to my CRA account and to my horror I discovered they had issued a tax assessment for the 2024 tax year. I relaxed when the assessment said I am entitled to a refund. Maybe that email from the "CRA" is bogus (COIN, don't click on any links.)
Sill puzzled why they removed my email address. "If it ain't broken, don't break it."

If it has truly been removed, there could be two reasons: 1) You may have done something in your 2024 T1 return to instruct CRA to remove your email address as a means of communication, or possibly 2) it is on a list on the dark web albeit that would potentially lock out millions of taxpayers whose email addresses are shopped.
You did go into CRA MyAccount and reinstate it (edit notification preferences), did you not?

But why did you not also look at your profile that shows your contact phone numbers and email address? They would be able to edit, update or change.
Did you not have to get a security code over the phone or by text to logon?????

The "your SIN has been suspended" calls are a well-known scam that's been out there for months. One can always search for "your SIN has been suspended hoax scam" and it will pop up. DuckDuckGo provided more than a page of references. (I don't use Google so I can't report on what they will find.)
If you get such a call or E-mail claiming to be from a trusted party, DON'T call their number or web site. Use a KNOWN number or URL to find out what's going on, after checking as noted in my first paragraph.
I arrange with my financial institutions to put a note in my CSR file with the answer to a question *I* ask them to verify that it's them if they call. A different one for each outfit, of course. Otherwise, I call a known number.
