Got a message on the answering machine to call some mike wallace (cant really tell because there was static and a buzzing sound) so i called the number on my caller id. no answer. then i instantly got a call back, gave me some other name, said he was returning my call. i said no, i returned his call but no one answered. he was arguing with me about who called who and i said, who are you and what do you want. gave me a [***] answer, something about cra crime or fraud unit. and i so, what do you want, he said who am i speaking to. i said you called me, you should know who you called. i think he got fed up and just hung up. then i get a call again, one ring and hangs up. i knew it was a scam from the moment he said hello. he didn't like my attitude so he didn't want to deal with me. i called back after 5 minutes. someone else answers and saying something about how i don't know how to talk because i kept telling him how are you working for cra when you are not even in Canada. he got fed up too and hung up. i just wanted to piss them off so i kept calling the number over and over and over again. no one would pick up. i just tried now and the number doesn't work. if cra was contacting me, it wouldn't be by phone first of all and he would know my entire name, not the fake stuff i put on the internet.
the guy was talking slow at first and there was a lot of static and buzzing sounds, you can barely hear him. come on people! i can't believe there are still people out there who believe these guys. they wouldn't be doing this if people didn't give up their information.
plus the number they called me back from was not the same as the first one. but the 613 655 9944 is not working right now. or at least not for my number.
just keep calling them back over and over again, they will eventually block your number i think. i tried that today and now i can't get through. i get a funny busy signal. they probably blocked my number from their phone! haha!
the numbers i got on my phone are 613 655 9944 and 1 954 794 9258.
Got a call from the same number 613-655-9944
He said exactly the same thing Irfan wrote above and that I could pay a certain amount to avoid jail time.
I am so happy to know that it is a scam. I have never delayed filing my taxes, but this guys scared the hell out of me.
the guy with Asian accent calling his name as Mike Walter, with extremely bad voice quality asking me to provide my lawyer information as my name has been given to him due to criminal activity with tax affairs. i asked him to call him back with my lawyer information and he hang up on me. 101% scam.
got a call on my voice mail to phone this number. It was an extremely bad line. Said I had defrauded CRA for a sum of $5000 between years 210 and 2012. Said I was immanently liable for arrest by the police if I didn't make a part payment. I said I didn't receive any notification from CRA to that effect and would pay anything owing them if I got authentic notification letter and proper paperwork from CRA. He read me a long affidavit. He didn't inform me how I was to pay. He then rang off. I'm wondering when he'll phone again - if ever. Glad to find out that its a scam.
