Received 2 calls from this number today. Message was left 2nd time - a really lame voice synth of text.
Message claims they represent CRA (Canada Revenue Agency), immediate action is needed to resolve outstanding debt, and I will contacted by their debt collector - failure to act will result in severe legal action.
This is most bogus and lame fraud scheme I have seen in a while.
I called 613-704-1362 back at 18:00 and a male answered as "CRA"
He pulled my name from name display and asked to confirm my name.
I asked if he minded if I record the phone call and after a pause, he said yes.
The said than he was with Canada Revenue Agency.
I asked what his agent ID was and he hung up.
Calls back to the number are now - ring no answer.
Posting here so people do not get sucked into their attempt to steal money from the unwary.
There was an echo during the call, so I suspect this is case of someone using a VOIP phone.
