I received a phone call from "Natalie" from CRA asking to speak with me about some important information that they were made aware of and it was important to discuss with me. I asked who she was with and she said CRA. I then asked what that was, and she said it was an acronym and wouldn't explain it further. She went on to tell me that her "boss" wanted to speak with me and since she was new was told to contact me. I asked her again what this was regarding and she just said her boss would have to speak with me. At that point I hung up the phone. They also called my cell phone and left a message stating it was a financial matter that needed immediate attention.
