So today I received a call from some scammers pretending to be CRA (Canada Revenue Agency).

I called them back. 🙂

I was tired of getting so many scam phone calls demanding money from the Government, so I decided to call them back and have some fun.

They didn’t get very far.

If you DO owe the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) money, they will ALWAYS mail you a notice in the mail via Canada Post.

The ONLY time they will call you is if you are in Collections with them.

To reach that point, they would have mailed you multiple times.

If you are EVER in doubt, here is some info for you:

CRA’s OFFICIAL Website:

If you are ever in doubt, please call your Chartered Accountant.

If you don’t have one, here is a great way to search for one in your city:
