Got a call from this number with message to call "Officer Doug Lawson" back "because of a tax fraud case pending against me". Did just that 5 minutes later, but Officer Doug Lawson (very Western name) had a very foreign accent (sounded south-east Asian) and said he is from the "IRS", who I don't even deal with (I pay the CRA, being Canadian), gave a long story and asked for various information. I caught on immediately, and asked how much I owed. Reply was something like $1200. I offered him $5,000 for him personally (as a bribe) to get off my back with reason that I don't really want to deal with authorities because I told him I'm kingpin of a criminal organization (in real life I'm just a humble administrator in a regular office job). Then I threatened that if he don't take it the bribe, my boys will track him down and deal with him accordingly. There was a click on the other side ... end of conversation.

he told me i m a tax defrouder
he asked me my mailing address so he can send me the documents
and as soon as i asked him his name he cut the line
what a scam
Rec'd a call from an unknown caller, that was recorded on my answering machine. He said he was an officer with a criminal investigation dept of CRA, the message was time sensitive, officer Brad Lawson at 819-809-0011. Don't disregard, if I do I will have to face the legal consequences in tax court! LOLOLOLOLOL! What a scam, the voice was definitely done through a device, it sounded phony, and the CRA does not call people, they would send letter! Seem to be getting a lot of these calls lately! I have read these messages, I see many people have called him back - I wouldn't you have to pay for a long distance call!
Got a same call from 819-809-0011.
The bad thing is we all know it's a fraud (people posting here) but some senior wont. My question is; WTF are Canadian authorities doing about it ? This scam has been going on for a while and they will be able to scam .01% of the people are they are calling.
I have talked to this individual and they want to meet in person and for me to bring the money, so why can't the police meet him and arrest him ?
