I missed a phone call and they left a message, cut halfway into a sentence so it was clearly a recording. Officer Erik says they are going to issue an arrest warrant for me and I need to contact them right away, and God Bless me. I call the number back and the man says he is from the CRA and I owe lots of money in back taxes so I need a lawyer. I know this is false, so I call the real CRA to find out how to report it, and they have heard of this one before (one of their own even got the call!). The lady gave me the Canada Anti Fraud Center phone number of 1-888-495-8501. If you get anything like this, please be sure not to give them any information!

289 206 0107 called and left a message. Says its an Officer of CRA and I have a lawsuit against me. Have to call immediately and make "arrangements" or sending RCMP to arrest me! SCAM SCAM SCAM! I gave the number to RCMP.
As mentioned by Stephanie in the earlier post - this is the exact phone call that we have received. Total SCAM. The phone rang and the automated message from "Officer EriK" warned of the same. When calling back in, my call was answered by "Senior Officer Peter Sampson". I enquired why we were receiving this call and to date had not been informed via the mail. He proceeded to tell me that notification had been sent out on March 16th. When asked if he could re-send the documents so that we could present it to our lawyers he said there was no need as he was on the phone with us now to discuss the matter. SCAM ARTISTS attempting to steal as much of your information as they can, so that they can move on to the next big scam.
I got a call from this number today. Not pleasant!! Lost 2 hours talking to those bandits. Please help to shut them up. They steal people's money and they stole my time:(( Erik you need to work on your accent. I could hardly understand you. And you speak too slow!! Speak faster:)))
Today, received on phone a message to call me back on phone 289-206-0107, stating there is a lawsuit against me and that I have to call back immediately, or I will be arrested. What type of joke is it? The name of the caller - Erik, but all the rest I could not catch.
