Calls from these numbers or****ociated with these numbers might be someone posing as from the govn't, but actually from CSIS, using tactics to confirm information that they collect on individuals as well.

Victoria police issued a warning Friday after the number of reports of the “Ca***a Revenue scam” increased sharply. Here are some tips from the Ca***a Revenue Agency and the Ca***ian Anti-Fraud Centre about how to recognize the scam, and what you should do if you receive a call. What they say In the scam, someone claiming to work for the Ca***a Revenue Agency calls. If no one answers the phone, the caller might leave a message. The person says that a debt is owed to the agency, and threatens court charges, jail or deportation unless a payment is made immediately. The debt is fic***ious. The number that appears in the caller ID may be falsified. What they want The caller will try to persuade the victim to pay over the phone using a credit card or to purchase a prepaid credit card and call back with the information. The danger These calls could result in iden***y and financial theft. What you should do • **** up. • Do not take immediate action to pay the callers or give them any information. Verify that what you are being told is the truth. • Contact the CRA to confirm that you owe money, before providing any personal or banking information. • If you want to confirm the authenticity of a Ca***a Revenue Agency telephone number, call the CRA. The number for business-related calls is 1-800-959-5525. The number for individual concerns is 1-800-959-8281. • Report the call to the Ca***ian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501. If in doubt, ask yourself: • Is there a reason that the Ca***a Revenue Agency may be calling? • Do I have a tax balance outstanding? • Is the requester asking for information I would not include with my tax return? • Is the requester asking for information I know the CRA already has on file for me? • How did the requester get my email address or telephone number? • Am I confident I know who is asking for the information?

This number is not registered to the CRA, and has been confirmed by the CRA as a scam: http://www.cochranetimes.com/2014/01/22/watch-for-revenue-ca***a-phone-scam Watch for Revenue Ca***a Phone Scam Be on the lookout for phone calls claiming to be from the Ca***ian Revenue Agency as they could be scams to steal your personal information. Sandra and Wayne Scruton recently received a couple of calls claiming to be from the CRA that sounded su****ious to them. The first call was an automated message claiming to be an important message from Revenue Ca***a that then put them on hold. Wayne ***g up considering it was an odd call to receive, even though it sounded professional and call display showed GOC, which could be short for Government of Ca***a. Next the Scrutons had a call on their answering ma****e directed to Sandra. “The thing that bothered Sandra was it said, ‘Call us back and make sure you have your Social Insurance Number ready,’” said Wayne. “That was the kicker for me,” said Sandra, who contacted the CRA and received confirmation it was a scam as neither the incoming number (800-931-1026) nor the call back number provided (866-538-6181) are used by the agency. “”It wasn’t the first call they had received,” said Sandra. “They did exactly what they should have done,” said Joann de Waal, a communications manager for the government. However, just because they ask for your SIN does not necessarily mean the caller is not a CRA representative. Due to privacy concerns, your SIN could be a**** the security questions asked to verify your iden***y before they divulge any information. De Waal recommended ignoring all e-mails claiming to be from the CRA as they never contact individuals online and that it is rare for the agency to call anyone not expecting a call. If you do suspect you are being scammed, a caller from the CRA will provide you with their general inquiries number, which can be verified online or in the phone book. From there, they will direct you through the necessary channels. The CRA also recommends asking yourself the following questions when receiving a call: •Does this sound too good to be true? • Is the requester asking for information I would not include with my tax return? •Is the requester asking for information I know the CRA already has on file for me? •How did the requester get my email address? •Am I confident I know who is asking for the information? [email protected] This is the time of year the fraudsters (generally operating from India) become most active (just after taxes are filed), as seen by the renewed activity of shills on this and other threads relating to fraudulent CRA calls.

Total scam, not an authorized number through Ca***a Revenue.

Lately I've been receiving calls from 1-800-931-1026 and 1-800-959-2250. Both numbers claiming they are from Ca***a Revenue Agency. (Separate numbers gave the option to speak in a different language of choice). Once you pick up the phone call, it will sound like a legitimate Ca***a Revenue Agency voice recording w/options to choose English or French. It redirected my call to an actual agent. Agent asked me to verify my name, birthdate and mailing address. In this matter, they actually had my old address, which I don't even know how they got a hold of. I didn't even tell them my old address. Then they proceeded to tell me that they are part of Ca***a Revenue Agency Collection Department saying that they overpaid me last year and now I owed money. They said that there was a re*****sment on my income tax return and that I owed $4000. I became su****ious when the agent kept on saying I owed money and I had to confirm a payment by tonight at 6pm. I s****ed arguing with him on the phone when he s****ed asking which bank I dealt with and s****ed naming the list of banks available in Ca***a even though I said I would not be making any payment until I know what is going on, and that I have all my paperwork in front of me. He s****ed getting impatient when I said no I won't be making any payment. He s****ed getting frustrated and I said if it was true, that I would call back. That's when I ***g up.

This is really Ca***a revenue. I spoke to them today and I verified that it is a legitimate call

They call me every day

annoying

I received 2 calls from these guys one on the 15 of july and one on the 22 i don't believe these are real i have dealt with revenue ca***a and they always send mail first it's protocol and they don't call my cell unless they have to and then they request that i call them back on a land line for security reasons i am sure this is a scam because regardless of the fact that the government may know that we through this stuff out we still receive letters to allow us to contact them for our security and there are people like myself who actually respond to the letters

It's a scam!  i called REV CA***A and they said they always write first and call only if you don't get in touch with them after a while - the name the guy gave was not a CRA employee's and the number was NOT A valid CRA phone number. The the number called me just now.  Same fake number showed on my phone.  The prompts had c****ed.  It sounds fake before but this time it was like they recorded the CRA answering script.  The name on my phone was REV CAN the first time they called, now, with the same fake number, it showes CRA.TOTAL SCAM.  Also, you have to wonder if the posters saying it is real aren't just people from the rip off **** calling us all.I told the guy I wasn't giving him any inof and he said "fine, you're running up interest charges."  Yeah, like CRA would say that.

The number is legit. I checked with Revenue Ca***a and they say they gave up mailing payment reminders, because "people just throw them away". Instead, they employ an agency whose job it is to irritate you with daily calls, thus hopefully drilling into your conscious....
