Fake Canada Revenue Agency phone calls
Chatham-Kent police are still getting tips from the public about fraudulent phone calls that people are receiving from scammers who are claiming to be working for the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
Officers said officials with the CRA will never:
- ask for personal information by email or text message
- request payment by credit card or gift cards
- share your tax information with another person or organization unless you have agreed that it can be shared
- leave personal information on an answering machine
- threaten or use nasty language
