I received an e-mail from the "Canada Revenue Agency" -- is it spam?

Is this email spam? The link goes here, which looks like phishing to

me... I don't have any business in Canada!

I just got the same e-mail. It's most definitely spam. The Canada Revenue Agency has warned taxpayers about this e-mail scam.

Yea it's a scam.

.it is the Country code for Italy, it's a safe bet that Canada wouldn't be sending out government emails from a .it address.
