Called home phone, sounded like a prerecorded message to call REVENUE CANADA @ (819) 410-7781 asap, charged and being arrested for fraud. I called the number from my work number, the person identified himself as CRA INVERSTIGATOR, I'm being arrested for fraud on my income tax return from 2009-2013. I've frauded the gov't and benefited for $2,645. Asked me not to interrupt him till he is finished with reading all the charges to me and and for about 10 min was scaring me with multiple criminal charges and offences. When he was done, he said I can ask him a few questions, I said this is the first I hear of this, my bookkeeper is doing my taxes, I've not been notified of this in writing and said I can't believe any of this, this cannot be true. He said the police is on its way to arrest me within 45 minutes. I said that's exactly what I want to do is call and speak with the police. He said he warned me and I lost my last opportunity to make a credit card payment. He has to hang up but he made me aware of the consequenses and the police will be arresting me in within 30 min. . .I am still waiting . ..

Received the call on our answering service as well .... total BS. Don't waste your time listening to it/calling back.
Same name was used: Officer John Parker/Barker
Called home phone and left urgent threatening message to call or the lawyers will be involved. Did not call back after reading other peoples' experiences with this number.
I will report this number to the Police, CRA and Bell. Hopefully the peretrator will be caught and charged with attempted fraud.
