Well it seem that they are now calling people in Quebec. I received the same call (John Parker), saying is CRA and that I have to call back. That i will go to jail if i don't pay now. When I told them that I will contact the CRA to have my file for more information they said I don't have to. I have to pay right away or The police will be at my door in the next 30 minutes so I answer to sent the police or army if they wont I will call CRA. They hang up.
My husband call from another telephone, and they hang up right away because he ask to speak to a french person. He call back from a third phone and spoke in english want information about the message, they hang up again, The forth time the line was not in service anymore.
My file was verify By he real CRA and there was noting wrong with my file.
Be aware of these call
caller message "[undistinguishable]... the issue with him is very urgent and time sensitive. My name is Officer John Parker... return this call immediately... if I do not hear from you I can only wish you good luck" Heavily accented (hispanic?) mail voice did not mesh with his name. Did not return call.
I live in Montréal and this guy, "Officer" John Parker, left a message in my voice telling me it was urgent that I return his call. Never heard of this guy. He gave a phone number and the area code was 647, which is an area code belonging to the Ontario (ON) province of Canada and some of the locations covered are Toronto and its surrounding towns. Didn't return the call. I have no doubt that this was a prank call or a scam. Be advised and be careful...
3 messages left on my home voice mail. When I called back (at 11:30 pm) this number was "not in service".
From everything I've read, this is definitely a scam!!!! CRA does not operate like this - they don't tell you to have your attorney call, nor do they wish you "Good Luck"! They would be fired for saying that! Checkout CRA website for their phone numbers.
