Caller claimed he was from CRA and wanted to discuss my pending criminal case for tax evasion. The caller did not know my first name and referred to me as Mrs. (pause) V. Li; did not have my current address; did not know my current marital status. I stopped talking to him within a few minutes of realizing that he was completely fishing for information.
Number called on a Holiday Monday, claiming to be Microsoft. Claimed he was calling from New York (a Google search showed this is an Alberta number). I told him that his call was unwanted, he had no information to provide me to prove that I was a customer of his employer, and that his call was harassment. I asked for his name. He told me his first name was Allen. His last name was my last name (very uncommon name). When I said, "oh, what a coincidence", he asked why. He seemed fixated on wanting to know more about the Holiday, as he wasn't aware of it, and told me that once I called back, he would call me back in 3 minutes. He did call me back. A different number came up.
Got a call at 7 am from this number saying they were from Windows and needed me to turn my ciomputer on as it had been had been hacked and they would fix it for me. He gave me his supervisor and when I told him I didn't use Windows we got cut off. They then called back in a couple of minutes later and said he was from
Apple and could he fix my computer. So shady so I discontinued the call.
