Yes, there were 2 messages on my phone today from this Ryan Smith with an Indian accent. It was very demanding, wanting me to call the number as soon as possible. The first part of the message was cut off, and there were 2 of them recorded. Where should I report this fraud?
Tax Fraud Scam - Foreign, assertive bordering on angry voice.
"This is officer Ryan Smith from the Canada Revenue Agency. There has been signs of tax fraud on your account and you must call me back or have your lawyer call this number immediately."
This caller / recording is using other numbers as well calling many people across the country. Do not call the number back, nor comply, instead report this to the proper authorities.
BEWARE everyone of any number beginning with a 613 area code!! Just do not answer it. They have called my home phone here in Edmonton at least 4 or 5 times now in the past two weeks, and I am seriously angry that every time I add these numbers to the SHAW 'block' list online that they somehow find a way to get around it. I'm also on the Do Not Call Registry list and was prior to them harassing me. It's the same idiot who has a noticeable foreign accent, going by the name of 'Ryan Smith'. Every time it has been him!! He keeps repeating that I am to call him back and for me to get a lawyer, that there has been tax fraud on my account and I am to call the number he gives immediately, do not ignore this call, blah, blah. They called me this morning at precisely 8:38 AM Mountain time, and woke me up out of a sound sleep, and they have called me this early before. I do not appreciate being woken up when I am trying to get my rest, recovering from a bad cold I've had the past week.
Because of these calls I feel that I have no other alternative but to change my home number just so they will leave me alone and hopefully that will do it. NOBODY should have the right to disturb a person in the comfort of their own home, whose only purpose is to try and get money out of you. This has got to be thee WORST scam going around Canada right now.
