CRA Impersonation Scam: How to Spot Fake Tax Threats!
Summary — +16136996938
Expert Opinion
Imagine picking up a voicemail that claims a CRA officer is after you for tax fraud. The pattern is clear: a heavy Indian accent, a fabricated legal threat, and a request to call a suspicious number back. Caller ID spoofing makes the display look official, but the CRA never initiates contact this way. Hang up immediately, never provide personal data, and verify any claim by calling the official CRA number listed on their website. Block the offending number, report the incident to the Canadian Anti‑Fraud Centre, and consider filing a complaint with your phone provider. Staying vigilant and using official channels are the best defenses against this scam.
