Just received a call from 289-512-0307. Unfortunately I wasn't home. It was so garbled at the beginning I only got "CRA Revenue Canada", then he continued on with the spiel and yes it was a heavy accent. Unbelievable these idiots are so bold. It only bothered me because it upset my 74 year old mom. I told her not to worry, it was just another con by useless individuals with nothing to contribute to society. I never respond the first time to anything anyway. Apparently these [***] get belligerent too. If someone is contacting my home and interrupting whatever I'm doing, they better be polite!! .
just got 2 of these calls on my voicemail today. my first reaction was to search the number and name on the internet and sure enough lots of other people are getting this call and realizing that it is phony!
Had a voice mail left by Eric Foster - investigator with the CRA. When I called the number (I couldn't make out anything from the original voice mail) the vm response was Robert Watson investigator with the CRA. I left a message as I'm dealing with my father's estate. The call was returned about 5 minutes later from Eric Foster. I was accused of "irregularities" on previous tax returns. I suggested that he probably had the wrong person, at which point he became very aggressive and threatened that the RCMP would be arresting me. I told him to bring it on. As a previous poster stated, the quality of their equipment has much to be desired. A sham scam very poorly done!
