Me too. I got half a message... about legal action... I decided to google the phone number and found this... I already suspected a fraud but always to good to have this confirmation... actually peace of mind so Thanks to all!
A robo caller from CRA threatening about default taxes and that our house would go on lien. Ridiculous - no names, and no amounts. Don't be fooled by that garbage.
Received 2 calls from this number today. Message was left 2nd time - a really lame voice synth of text.
Message claims they represent CRA (Canada Revenue Agency), immediate action is needed to resolve outstanding debt, and I will contacted by their debt collector - failure to act will result in severe legal action.
This is most bogus and lame fraud scheme I have seen in a while.
I called 613-704-1362 back at 18:00 and a male answered as "CRA"
He pulled my name from name display and asked to confirm my name.
I asked if he minded if I record the phone call and after a pause, he said yes.
The said than he was with Canada Revenue Agency.
I asked what his agent ID was and he hung up.
Calls back to the number are now - ring no answer.
Posting here so people do not get sucked into their attempt to steal money from the unwary.
There was an echo during the call, so I suspect this is case of someone using a VOIP phone.
Received calls and answered - two guys threatened me with police and court and paying $90,000 if going to court. They were willing to perhaps offer settlement for the tax I owed $3865 (and did not receive any letters from CRA about it but they claimed the police tried to find me in January and February and I was not home and they thought I was hiding). Well, after they told me that I cannot pay in any other way but cash within 45 minutes, it became clear to me that this is a scam.
same thing here....some guy with an Indian accent threatening court action for taxes owed. I've told them to stop calling and they call everyday. I tried to report the number to rcmp.....or cra.....no luck....
How do we shut these creeps down if our own government doesn't make it easy to report?
