CRA Data Breach , Got a call from CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) they are reviewing my tax and benefit return for 2020 asking if I applied for the CERB in March, April and May 2020.
The Fraudster hacked into CRA Data Base and under my file they changed my direct deposit to a bank in Toronto Ontario. They applied for CERB for March, April and May 2020 under my name @ $2000 each month equal in total $6000 and had the money deposited to a Equitable Bank in Toronto Ontario. I did NOT apply for CERB, did not change the direct deposit on my file at CRA and I have never heard of Equitable Bank. Investigation is now under way at CRA.

I have received 5 calls today alone. A voice recording tells me that if I don't press 1 and talk to someone immediately I could go to jail as CRA is suing me. They've also called from 902-292-5685. When I press 1, knowing it is a scam I always get a female answer.

Received a automated call about taxes not being paid, going to be arrested if I do not press 1 to talk to a police officer. When I pressed 1, redirected to call center, most likely in India from the accent of the person who answered. I said hello in French and they hung up immediately.

It was a very robotic voice. They said I had committed fraud. And are taking action. If I didn't comply I would have my day in court. I hung up and called the number back. A lady answered and sounded very confused.

CRA - scammer.

It started with an automated phone call stating this is the second time they have tried to contact me and that if I did not call back and deal with it that the RCMP would pick me up on a warrant. Once I called back they asked me to confirm my info. Name, address, city. They then went on listing what "Criminal codes" I broke and that there was a warrant for my arrest and if I took it to court I would owe $7000+ and also receive 5 years in jail. Or I could pay my outstanding balance of $5598.
Told me his name was Ian and his contact number is 417-J2741
number they called me from was 416-357-5034

This number had contacted me via telephone. Unaware at the time, j called the number back as it was shown as a 'missed call'.
The man on the other end identified himself as an agent working for the CRA. Claiming that I had wrong calculations in my income tax returns from the last 3 years (I know I didn't). I told him CRA doesn't call people. He went on the ask my postal code, last name. Also asked if I was available to go over my 'record', & asked if I had a lawyer to help me with this case.
This is a huge scam, they are trying to scare people into giving their personal information. There's way too many CRA scams out there! It's crazy.
Received text that stated it was from the CRA, who said I had a text refund and they just needed my name and SIN number.

Called with a recorded urgent message. In trouble with CRA, please call this number. I called, they claimed to be CRA, but offered no confirmation. I said I doubted they were CRA and hung up.
