It’s striking how often strangers masquerade as trusted institutions like Canada Post or the CRA to lure victims. These calls usually rely on urgency and vague threats, hoping you’ll panic and hand over personal info. If you get a call from an unfamiliar number, don’t provide any details and hang up. Verify the claim by contacting the agency directly using official contact info, not the number that called you. Consider blocking the number and reporting it to your carrier or a consumer protection agency. Staying skeptical and keeping a record of suspicious calls can help you avoid future scams.
You think you're the only one who dont know who's calling, people look up numbers to find out who called, thats a fact.
