Called me and another family member. He they called as Officer Tony Williams. Same old thing the CRA is suing me, so I called them back a couple times and got to them twice. Asked why this number is not listed in the CRA web site, they asked if I didn't believe they were not the CRA why am I calling. Well because I dont believe you thats why. Then they hung up. I did call the real CRA and they instructed me to report it to the RCMP which I did. But I am sure there is not much we can do.
Be careful this is clearly a scammer pretending to be from the CRA. You can learn all about this scam on the Canada Revenue Agency website. The CRA says people are getting threatening calls about money owed and are telling people to just hang up and do not fall victim to these scammers.
This guy called me representing CRA. I called back and he said that I there was an error . He started spewing numbers about my T1 column was wrong from 2008-2014 and I owed them $1986.64. He said they sent a 501 on Jan 15, Feb 15 and March 15 and no one was there to accept the letter. I asked about the issue with the missing deduction and that my taxes were deducted at my work and there is an error there and I would talk to my work tomorrow to get this issue resolved. He said its to complicated to explain to my company and I should get an accountant to do so. I said "Ok how do I pay this bill?" He said do I have a cell phone. "Yes" I responded."What is it?" he asks. "Why do you want it?" I say. "Sir are you refusing to pay this bill because they will arrest you tomorrow morning, seize all my assests charge me $17000 in penalities", he yells. "Ok how do I pay?", I say. "As the banks are closed I will not ask you for your credit card but you need to go to Western Union or Money Gram". "Money gram is a web site and the goveernment only accepts cash, credit or cheque", I interject. "This is the last time I am telling you to pay this because when I hang up you will go to jail". I then tell him that I am feeling very threatened and explain to him why I am then I ask for my case number, his name, his managers name. Which he promptly tells me you are going to jail: hangs up
I got the same issue, when they ask me about money, I told them I gonna call the police and hang up, how we can stop those people ? Why somebody like him or them, no going to jail?
