Supposed call from Canada Reveune Agency saying they have been attempting to reach me (not by name) for last several days and that owe taxes or $$$ and an arrest warrant has been issued. Then directed to call back by the automated message to the same # call received from for details. Totally a scam. #1 - I know we don't owe any $, #2 - have been home for the last 5 months and know that no one has been trying to contact anyone in our home, #3 - government would not contact in this method.
I called them back and when they answered i said FU they immediately went into a return swearing retort and hung up .. this confirms that it is a total scam ripoff .. But they deserve to be acknowledged with a return courtesy call.
Same number, same call. They say that whoever answered the call owes money to Revenue Canada; that there's a lawsuit pending, and to call the same number that called us. These people could do a lot of damage to people who are unaware of this type of scam. Wish they could be found and stopped!
I got one at my office number today, and yesterday at home. And my mother has gotten this one several times. I should call her and tell her "we'll share the same jail cell, lol", as they always claim there is a warrant out for one's arrest. Joke's on them, Canada doesn't have debtor's prison, so CRA wouldn't get police to arrest you even if you DID owe them money!
