Scam Canada Revenue calls getting threatening
The Kimberley RCMP Detachment has received a large number of calls from persons getting suspicious or threatening calls from the Canada Revenue Agency.
The callers claim to be from Canada Revenue Agency and are looking for information and they have been known to threaten arrest.
“These are scam calls; it’s best to hang up. Revenue Canada does not employ these tactics,” said Cpl. Chris Newel of Kimberley RCMP. “The police are very aware of the calls.
“Another ploy is for callers to give you a number to call back to verify their identity; the number they give you is them, not the CRA,” he said, adding, “There are a large number of scams out there, they are ever changing and although police actively try and educate the community, there is a need to be vigilant. Research and question everything.”
