Got two of the same calls this past week. Two identical messages left on my answering machine from James Morrison officer from CRA saying something about a time sensitive matter and to call my lawyer etc etc. same as the other calls I read about here. I could not make out everything as he had a strong middle eastern accent. I had read about these scams in the paper and so Needless to say I didn't return the phone call and if the guy calls again I am going to tell him to hang on a minute while I record the phone call and that I am going to call the police on my other line to listen along lol
I just received a phone call from this number stating that if I didn't return the call immediately that they would be contacting an attorney. The person has an extremely thick accent and identified himself as officer Morrison. I didn't call back because if they say they are calling from CRA about a balance owing I know for a fact that it is a scam. I work for an accounting firm and CRA does not call & threaten you with legal action with out first sending you numerous balance owing notifications by mail. You can easily check with CRA about the status of your account by calling the CRA numbers in the phone book and then you will know you are actually dealing with CRA & not some scam artist. I also blocked the number using an option I have through Telus so if they really want to have an attorney contact me they will have to send something by mail.
I just got a call from this number. I called back because I have relatives in the 613 area code. The person who left the message had a thick accent also. I should have known better than to call back!!!!! Would not give me any info but wanted my first and last name, which I did NOT give. I am glad I checked the phone number on Google; my thanks to Google.
