Yes we rec'd the exact same phone call earlier today...and asked us to go to rexall pharma plus or sobeys to get prepaid cards ...forgot name of cards and to put on them $3480 ...and we would then meet with an officer from revenue canada ??? Luckily we did not do this...but they scared the crap out of us...Saying they would send RCMP for arrest and that they did a 10 year audit check on taxes and we owed $3480...said they sent us letter twice in mail ...told them we didn't receive any letters...Complete Hoax...do not believe them...they also had Indian accent...and lots of static on phone.
Thanks for your comments - I just had a call too, asking for my wife. Scared the heck out of me because they said they were from Revenue Canada and had a warrant for my wife! Sheesh. Thankfully I just googled the number he told me to call and saw that I'm not the only one.
My daughter answered the call from this "John Smith" regarding a "criminal investigation" about my husband/her dad and it freaked her out too. I called the number back and it immediately disconnected so I knew something was up. Thanks to those who posted the above notes as it confirmed my suspicions that the call wasn't legitimate.
I too just received a call from CRA Officer Damien Marshall, ( badge number 2410) saying CRA mailed information to me regarding errors in my previous tax returns. Since I didn't respond to the mailed information they now had a arrest warrant for me. The gentleman provided me with my arrest warrant number and my case file number , then he put me on hold while he transferred me to my case worker...But my case worker was busy and he would call me back in 10 minutes.. still waiting for him to call.... lol.. was very persistent, stern sounding man with Indian accent.
