People in Canada ! There is a regular scam going on. I have had 4 phone calls today of Revenue Canada threatening to sue you, call your attorney and what not within 24 hours unless you pay up.
We all just filed our taxes and all that. BE ASSURED that Revenue CANADA does NEVER send canned phoned calls. You all got your " results" in writing.
DO NOT FALL for those fakes. Be careful though. Someone might come around demanding money by whatever means.

THIS IS SCAM AND FRAUD. AND SOME PEOPLE STILL FALL FOR IT. REVENUE CANADA DOES NOT AND I REPEAT DOES NOT SEND THREATENING PHONE CALLS. IT IS ALL IN WRITING.

This is a total scam.
Revenue Canada was renamed to the CRA in 2003 and before that the CCRA. They don't even know the name of the agency they claim to be from. We do not have a tax jail. You will never be asked to pay back taxes or any official agency using gift cards.

Also remember that we have 2 official languages. Try and speak with them in the other (even if it is poor). My 12 year old said "bonjour comment vas" (hello how are you). The response was "we can call back when someone who speaks English is home" No government of Canada official would ever be stumped by such a simple response in either language.

I got 4 calls once on the same day, on a shared work number.

Really sad because some people are getting caught up in this and losing money.
