Guys, the weirdest thing happened to me, anyone else?! - I received the official confirmation of the document I sent through the webform last month today at noon, and now at 21:00EST, I received an email from a very sus email address asking me to resubmit the document in question because it wasn't attached to the webform.
FIRST : It called me by "Sir or Madam" not my full name.
SECOND : The coincidence is bizarre because it's about the same document, but why would they acknowledge that they received and forwarded to the VO, and a couple of hours later ask for the document again in a very suspicious way over e-mail with no directions whatsoever? Just plain asking to upload to the e-mail.
The e-mail was :
canada-immigration@international.gc.ca (I KNOW , IT SEEMS OFFICIAL, IS IT ??)
I replied with : " Hello. Is this an official email? Where should I resubmit it ? As a webform ? What happened ?..It doesn’t look like an official email. "
And TWO MINUTES AFTER they responded with :
" Dear Sir or Madam, Please kindly be advised that you did not attach your (document) when you submitted the Webform. Please resend via e-mail.
Sincerely,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada "
WHAT !????? It looks like IRCC got hacked or something, because it contains my application number as subject but thats it. Just the numbers as subject.
Even weirder, below the first e-mail it had : original message - and then the actual webform message i wrote.
I did upload the document. How did this person got access to my application number? Or the original webform message? why wouldn't him/she call me by my name or say his/her name in the end of the e-mail as the officer from e-mail this morning had put?
So many questions, but concerned. Identity theft ? Wtf .
