CRA fraud calls on the rise
“It’s tax season so we have seen a rise in people receiving phone calls from someone saying they are from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) saying there are warrants out for people’s arrest and they have to pay by credit card or pre-paid gift cards over the phone,” reported Cst Katie Forgeron.
“The CRA will never ask you to pay with your credit card or any gift cards over the phone”. Hang up and report the attempted fraud to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre on their website at: www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca
