Thanks, but I still think he needs to be put in jail. He could actually give someone a heart attack or imagine people who do not speak English well or at all? They could easily be scammed and have their accounts swiped. That's why more than just ignoring the situation should be done. :)
I too received a call this morning at 9:30 from a CRA agent named John Parker - I spent almost an hour on the phone with him. he claimed an RCMP officer will be arresting me within 30 mins. he read me the charges (tax fraud) called it a felony and if I hold on, maybe his supervisor can fix the situation for me. about 10 mins later agent Ian Morgan (btw- both had Asian accents with English names...pretty stupid on their part) told me that this is very serious and I need to be prepared. I tried to ask as many questions as possible to try and see if they'd get messed up. I was expecting at this point they'd ask me for a credit card or something to clear up this situation (they told me it was $1945.00) but I think because I gave them such a hard time they didn't...seems like they were just trying to scare me at that point. I called the CRA and they said my file was clean - which I knew all along. The funny thing was that when I returned from shopping a few hours later, another message from John Parker was left on my machine !!! lol these jerks need to keep better records of who they've traumatized ! THESE SCUMBAGS NEED TO BE STOPPED !!!
FYI - the call display indicated 416-477-2174, and the number they wanted me to call them back on was 416-477-6895
Just received a call from 416-477-2174 left a message identifying himself (not clearly) as CRA..I blocked my # and called back. He was confused as he did not know which caller I was... I hung up...

Yes, I got a call from this number too, and John Parker left a message. He had an Indian accent. He neither identified himself nor offer to say what the problem is. He just kept saying that if I don't call back then I would be in trouble.
Block this number, I look forward to taking a strip off of this [***] on his next call.
