Received 2 voicemails from someone at the number 1-202-751-2538 Ex.186 claiming to be from the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency). He said that there was a complaint filed against my husband's social insurance number and that he was "going to jail" if he did not call back. I tried to call back to chew these idiots out for being so dumb but the number does not connect. I also called the CRA to report them.
They had called me today claiming to be IRS. Then some lady call me told me that it's the sheriff office and they coming to arrest me. I told her I didn't do any wrong after that she told me to call them back and tell the frauds that I would like to take care of this metter.
There is a fairly common IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers in both Canada and the USA.
USA tax payers should read this:

Note particularly the links at that site, warning of the scam!
A shorter explanation is Scam #11, as shown at

That site also shows how other 800notes visitors have reduced the number of telephone scams and telemarketing calls they receive. (And, a link to Amazon's phone blocker devices and apps is there).
