Phone number 780-562-1140 has called numerous times! I have called the number back. The automated message I get is you have reached a number to which long distance charges apply. Tax time is coming up. I bet it is the scam as last year ie) The person says Revenue Canada is calling and are under legal investigation and if do not call (a different number) your file will be forwarded to a lawyer for legal investigation . Then they call back with a louder voice making more threats for example You must call back within 24hrs etc. The threats will continue for a couple of weeks.
This Scam that has cost some Canadians Thousands of dollars. Revenue Canada does not phone people. It's generally on the news at least once or so every year at this time.
PS The Scam makes a couple of mistakes if you listen to every word of the recording it leaves on your answering machine.
Called my phone, I said hello a couple of times to dead silence, then an automated voice said Goodbye. Probably scammers checking to see if the number belonged to a real person. No doubt I will soon hear back from them on another number because I've now blocked this one.
Called to ask to talk to the owner of the house, I then answer "Yes I am the owner!", and then they hung up right away! I am afraid this is the type of call trying to make you say "Yes" (probably they had recorded your voice) , they then use your voice to do something illegal! I am very worried now! Have any one experienced this?
