Victim LocationWoodbridge, ON L4L 6H7, CAN Type of a scamTax Collection
Received a missed call and voice mail on my home line from someone purporting to be from CRA claiming my wife and I owed $50,000 in back taxes and they were going to come arrest us and take our house away.
I called the # back - they answered as if they were from the CRA - and said the same things to me. They asked for my address which I gave them. I figured this is listed public knowledge anyway. I DID NOT GIVE ANY OTHER INFORMATION and the guy hung up once I questioned him.

3 calls last week on Friday and Saturday. Listened to first 2. The second one was more agressive. Hung up on the 3rd and haven't been contacted since. Calls were recorded messages that did not ask for anyone by name. They demanded that I call 343-885-8019 which I did not as this number when googled shows it has been used for this scam over the past month.

A female with an Asian or Phillipino accent left a message on my answering machine at 9:30P.M. claiming to be "Officer Annualson" from Canada Revenue Agency. She says there are 3 outstanding CRA offences pending and you must call her back immediately or else she will start legal action against you. The phone number she leaves is 613-366-4309, and it's always busy.

On three separate occasions I was instructed to send money through Western Union or I would be arrested for failing to pay back taxes to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
