Never hand over personal or tax details to an unsolicited caller. Scammers often pose as Canada Revenue Agency agents, using names like Eric Foster and demanding payment or threatening legal action. Ask for a written verification, hang up, and call the official CRA number yourself. Remember that legitimate agencies will never ask for money over the phone or threaten immediate arrest. If the call feels aggressive, report it to your local fraud centre and consider blocking the number. Stay skeptical, protect your personal data, and verify any claim through official channels.
I just recieved a call, dont know who it was or whats it about.
The experience with this number has been frustrating, especially with the high volume of calls in my area, which have even been covered by local TV news. The notion of a "Do Not Call List" seems to be interpreted as "Don't Call Us" by these callers.
A threatening call was received, supposedly from Revenue Canada, but this is a known scam and should be ignored
I'm also experiancing anger due to the threatening calls recieved from this number, the first occuring a couple of months ago and the second yesterday
A individual with a thick Indian accent, claiming to represent the CRA, contacted me from the number 613-817-3509, demanding $2990 for alleged back taxes, but was unable to provide an ID number when requested, and subsequent verification with my accountant and the CRA confirmed this to be a fraudulent case, which I attempted to report to the Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.
I got another call from this indian guy, he say he is from CRA, but he keep changing his name, last time it was Erik Foster
Neutral, no issues.
The fact that you've engaged with these scammers multiple times is quite surprising, given the nature of their tactics.
A suspicious call was received for the third time this week from someone with a heavy accent, claiming to be Officer "Jason O"Connors" from the CRA, threatening fines and jail time, which appears to be a scam.
