This clown called saying he was from CR and I return his call asap. I was in trouble with CR and needed to get it straightened out. So I heard that this scam is going on and they can fake phone numbers and caller id as well. I'm keeping this message and might go to the police with it. Some one has to stop this!
Caller claimed to be an officer from revenue canada, had a recorded background noise like a busy office, insisted that I had an arrest warrant for outstanding balance. After checking with the r-canada and told that is not true I called back the number and demanded an explanation.. The strong Indian accented man dropped the phone.
I just had the same call saying it was REVENUE CANADA and I believe the message said John Parker. as it was a recorded message. When I called and asked who I was calling, he said I called a phone booth to get out of an awkward situation. Complete scam and waste of time.
I got the same call about 30 minutes at my home phone, saying the same thing. I called back, the strong Indian accent man demanding the phone number and my name, I gave the phone number and asked him what is my name if it was from revenue Canada, and he can't response.
I called them back, asking for someone to answer my questions in French, then proceeded to speak in French. He told me to speak English. I said in my "broken English" that Canada has 2 official languages, that there MUST be someone there that speaks French. He insisted I speak English, said I should be sent "back to my country" whatever that means! I repeated that there are 2 official languages. He argued with me, saying that English is the "first official language." I told him to Google the "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms" and to look under the section "official languages." Then I asked him if he knew what the RCMP is. He said they work with the RCMP, so I asked him if he knew the old owner of my house who also worked for the RCMP. He said "no." Then I said "But I didn't even give you his name yet!" To say that the conversation was ridiculous would be a huge understatement.
