my mother received the same message from "Revenue Canada" and called to answer to a "mr. adam spencer" (his assistants are "ray" and "anna"). he told my mom to send a money order of 7500 dollars through walmart or a western union (which is very sketchy) or she would be arrested. he told her not to tell anyone, and if the bank asks why you need the money to say its a family emergency. it seems that their new number is 1(343) 885 7631(which is the ottawa area code). they are very convincing and will even give you id numbers, rankings, and an office location. we went to the police and there have even been reports of these people threatening to deport immigrants (who dont know any better) if they dont pay right away. i hope this helps.
This guy who said his name was Johnathan Davis from Revenue Canada, with a heavy Indian accent called my 78 yr. old mother threatening her with jail time if she didn't pay thousands of dollars in taxes. We recently have lost my father, and this despicable human being not only tried to take advatage of an elderly grieving woman, but also could've brought on a serious heart condition which she suffers from. She was so upset when she called me, crying and hyperventilating, she could hardly breathe. My father took care of the taxes, and now she was terrified she was going to prison. Theses people need to be stopped.
Just phoned the Indian sounding "CRA" guy after getting the automated call. This time he was Robert Coston. He gave employee #...and my case file. He had me believing him for a while, he was pretty good. Then I caught on and said "I have to go now" and hung up. From Vancouver.
I also have received message saying they are calling from Canada Revenue Agancy and to not disregard the call - as there could be legal allegation taken against someone in our household - the message did not ask for anyone specific to call - no file number and no employee number ... just some inrecognizable first name and Johnson as a last name. A very automated female voice left 415-234-0459 as a direct hot line number to reach them.
