WARNING: SCAM !!! Phone: 1 800 980 1449

Hey,

Just received a threat robo-call from 1 800 980 1449, saying they call from CRA and there is a case against me and if I don't call them back they will arrest me. Do not call back! The message itself speaks of a typical scam. And the message was done using computer-generated voice, so smells of fake from the other part of the Earth.

Keep in mind and re-post to your friends!
Good luck!

lol I got a call last week saying there's a pending lawsuit against me and that if i don't respond they'll put a warrant out for my arrest and 'get me arrested'

I think part of my retirement plan is to troll scammers for fun. Wish I had more time to do it now.

If you do get arrested, just have in mind that you only have right to one call, so don't waste it trolling back a scammer

But then I could tape the call, put it on YouTube and generate ad revenue to pay my bail

I called them back in a panic and told them ‘please don’t put me in jail, I didn’t mean it’
The Indian guy on the other end said we won’t send you to jail.
I then said, that’s great, but if you fkng call me again, I will not only track you down and beat the crap out of you, but will also go after you family.
He immediately hung up. It was a Hamilton number:

Just got a bloody call from 1-888-814-8231, so I called them back and I told them they are scammers! I called them so many times just to tie up their line and each time someone answered depending on my energy level, I kept talking and talking about them being a scammer.
Perhaps if we have the rfd effect and flood call them???

I think it’s about time the phone carriers that issues these numbers take responsibility of THEIR. customers.
Canada’s failing do not call list program and the carriers responsible should pay every penny back (especially to the elderly) to those that fell prey to this.
They all know about it but I see no improvement. It’s over.
I’m in if RFD is going to take the matter into their own hands.

i dont know from where the information gets leaked. I filed tax in march first week. To my surprize i received the call and a message within one week of filing the tax. Strange but it seems coincidence there. Someone might be selling the private data same as facebook. But they are not get caught
