I received a first call which I answered and the guy told me he was calling from Canada Revenue. I asked him where he was calling from, It did not sound like an official call, The guy had an indian accent and I could here other people talking in the background. As soon as I starting to ask questions, he hung up. Today I got a message on my voicemail, the guy identifed himself as officer James Watson and said that there is a lawsuit against me and if I did not call him back, there would be a warrant for my arrest. Canada Revenue does not call, they send letters!!!!!!
I had the same experience, exactly as you described it and he had called my house twice already in less than 48 hours. He must be getting desperate since I don't call him back. What a scam!
Have 3 voice mail messages on our system at home from this number. Caller claims to be "Constable Chase Watson", who threatens to send a warrant out for my arrest if you don't return his call. Caller on voice mail message never identifies who he is looking for, just call the number provided, being 613-699-4408. The caller has a "Caribbean Accent" and leaves a final sign-off retort of "Thank-You and God Bless". When we call the number it goes to a voice mail that you have reached the CRA office and leave a message. No call to any branch of the CRA, in my experience ever goes to voice mail. There should always be a prompt to follow the steps on the automated telephone answering system. I called the RCMP (Kingston Attachment), who have confirmed, they have received many complaints about this scam. Visit the RCMP website and click on RCMP Ontario Fraud Awareness Campaign - Canada Revenue Agency Scam for further information on this scam. Also report the scam to the "Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) and file a report.
