We got a call from some guy claiming to be from Revenue Canada. Not buying it. He left a message and sounded like he was reading from a script. The number he gave wasnt even toll-free. Scam alert! Seniors, beware!

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.

I've been getting calls from diffrent numbers with messages from 'Officer Smith' claiming to be from Revenue Canada. I know it's a scam since real agents wouldn't be calling me and I'd get notises in the mail instead. I've blocked the number, just in case.
Just a heads up, caller ID is super easy to fake. These scammers are probaby using some cheap software to hide their real number. If you're curious, just Google 'caller ID spoofing'.
John Adams just called me and I'm still wondering how they're able to fake the CRA phone number on the call display. It's pretty concering.

I recieved a call from a guy claiming to be Rev Can officer Michael Smith with a really bad accent. He said ther's a criminal investigation against me. What a joke! I spoke to my accountant and he said if it was real, Revenue Canada wouldn't anounce it over the phone and ther would be a case number. Also, the RCMP would be at my doorstep, not calling me. Be carefull, folks!
