Got the same call here and the guy left a message saying he is from CRA and need me to call back this number for some tax issue, and if I do not call back, there will be some serious consequences. Should be fraud call as CRA normally sends mail instead of calling the client directly, and if they do, they should have asked me to call the official 1-800 number.
Thank you for the previous post by "K". Very helpful!
Exactly the same here: "guy left a message saying he is from CRA and need me to call back this number asap as it is time sensitive for some benefits issues, and if I do not call back, there will be some serious consequences." He said his name was "Officer John Parker" and caller name display was "Gatineau". The caller's tone was too threatening and too unprofessional for a real CRA call LOL! Disregarded it!
I received the exact same recorded call twice on the same day. He said he was from the CRA and his name is Officer John Parker (he had an accent from Trinidad, I think). He said that the call is extremely time-sensitive and not to disregard the message. If I or my attorney choose not to call, well, he wishes me good luck because the situation badly imposes on me. Hotline to his division is 819-410-7772.
Officer John Parker called from the CRA. I'm off work on vacation, but I'll be calling Officer Parker back next week from my work phone (for [***] and giggles).
