A reader reports that she has been contacted three times by telephone scammers pretending to be Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) officials. She said they threatened her; that she should not tell anyone about the calls; however she was not taken in. Our reader would like to remind everyone to not respond to this scam. If any unknown person calls you and requests personal information, HANG UP, no matter who they say they are.
The OPP issued a press release three weeks ago advising that their call centers have been inundated with upwards of 100 calls per day from the public about this fraud, and that unfortunately at times these calls restrict the OPP’s ability to take calls from the public that require a police response. It is not necessary to contact the OPP to report that you have received one of these calls unless you are a victim of fraud that can be attributed to this scam.
