Expert Opinion

Never return the call to that number. The voice‑mail you received is a classic spoofed CRA scam that pretends to be a legal threat to pressure you into paying money. Scammers use caller‑ID spoofing, foreign VoIP gateways, and fake names like John Adams or Michael Smith to appear official. Hang up immediately, block the number, and report the incident to the Canadian Anti‑Fraud Centre or your phone carrier. Never share personal or banking information over the phone, and verify any tax issues only through the official CRA website or a mailed notice. Keep a log of suspicious calls for future reference.
