Call from CRA to verify home buyers rebate
Hi All,
My mom just received this call from CRA about 15 minutes ago. Caller wanted to speak to my dad but he is traveling and will be returning to the country around Christmas. Caller said that he wants to verify if my dad actually lived in the new house they bought last year. My brother is also on the title and my mom suggested the caller to speak to my brother but the caller refused. Caller provided a call back number and asked my mom to tell dad to call her back. When I called that number, person with caller's name answered the phone, so it is a direct number. Caller mentioned my mom the entire address of new house, knew that my brother is on title, knew my dad's previous address. Caller told my mom that they are verifying as part of home buyers rebate program.
Is this a real CRA call or some kind of scam?
Thanks,
RC
