Claims it's the CRA Canada Revenue Agency.
"Extremely time sensitive and very urgent".
"Don't disregard this message".
"if you don't return my call, only thing what I can do is to wish you a very good luck, as the legal consequences unfold for you".
Awful English.
Threat call claiming to be from CRA (Cdn Revenue Agency ie: taxes) asking lawyer to call back now or get arrested.
Well known scam by now. It is even outlined on the CRA website!
LOL.
PS to 800notes: you might want to add "attempted extortion" to your call type selection....
Called once more that same day with same obnoxious message and then again the day after. Nothing today, yet....
There is a also a news report doc on CBC on this scam about swindling an old couple out of their savings....
You would think the RCMP would try to swamp the line with bogus "victims" calls figuring where it goes while it is active....
What a [***] guy. I missed the call and the message said it is from CRA. I hung up as soon as I heard that. And blocked the number. Wasted my time. Government don't hire guys to call others. They send mail. Just remember. Don't be fooled by these clowns. With an accent too.
Got a call from this number(647-931-7855) claiming that they are om behalf of CRA claiming unpaid taxes if not paid it will be taken to court as this is a fraud against the government. I contacted them and got the same threat, asking me for money and if I don't pay it will go to court. I have contacted CRA and was told that this is going around.
Please don't pay any monies to them.
they left a very threatening message on my answering machine, if I did know better or was elderly I would have gotten upset... but I know what to do and will report it to the Rcmp
