Awesome video. Caller totally deserved it. This is really disturbing when they call you and annoy you about arresting you nonsense.
Highly recommended for anyone who had to suffer this kind of annoying calls from fake callers.

I seriously doubt that the CRA would use the phone as their first POC with a consumer. They are probably like the IRS (except more polite) in that they use the postal service (while it's still running) to deliver notifications.

Whether you are called a debtor or some collector thinks you can flush one out, you have rights and options. Many are simple to exercise if you only learn how. You are entitled to proof of claim and fair treatment. If you get neither, the collection agency should *not* win your assets.

Rendering a number unlisted or unpublished does not mean it's invisible. Debt collectors, fakers or not, are also information collectors, relying on many databases which track our financial footprints. Sensitive data get traded, sold, and stolen all the time, and it's an acute problem in all those South Asian call centers which are entrusted with data traffic from North American companies.

The person likely in the best position to "do something about those calls" is in your mirror now. Random fellow readers of 800Notes cannot defend your rights for you.

In other words, the thugs want a wire transfer or a prepaid swipe card to make refunds impossible. Honest debt collectors don't hustle you and they don't give lame excuses as to why you can't have proof of claim.

This doesn't fit the profile of Caribbean toll traps. It's straight extortion from a lawbreaking debt collector.

Short answer? Consumer debts are not a criminal matter.

Recieved a call from this number. but i wasnt home so a voicemail was left. But the pretending lady was not prepared well so she made mistake in repeating her call back number. first she said, 289 801 0050. then she said 281 805... paused and sighed and said something in hindi language like " are yaar" (oh man)
i kept the recording for youtube.

Indian man. Adam jones is what I heard on the voicemail message, 1 of around 10 messages left in a span of 1 day. That's on top of the handful of calls that my girlfriend answered during the course of the day. Legal issue with CRA Canada Revenue Agency is what they claimed. I never bothered calling them back. I know my taxes are in good standing. I will call the real CRA to advise them. Stupid scammers! The question is my number is not listed. How'd they get my info?

Got same call today. They just left a message as no one was home. If any doubts about authenticity you should call the CRA's general inquiry line. For more info see http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ntcs/bwr-eng.html

This number shows up repeatedly on my caller ID when I come home from work. Happen to be home today, they called at 8am. Stated they were from the CRA, it was because of a legal issue and it was the last call they were making and I would be arrested! I took down the number and the lady said her name was Jenny Fernandez. Called the CRA toll free, they couldn't verify the number for me. Tried calling the number back, it rang several times and then got a message - "Number called cannot be completed as dialed."

| Rod 2014-01-30 21:10:27 Unknown |
got a call from the same number same story about case with CRA called CRA found out it was a fraud and also dont call back from home phone or cell use public phone as it could be linked to a phone racket where u call back and then get a bill of thousands of dollars as it is a chat line and you will be stuck with the bill as you called back so beware if u have to check call CRA toll free line to clarify

Message from CRA, left message this morning - East Indian sounding lady - said there was a "legal issue" and to call them back. They also asked me not to disregard the message, which is exactly what I did!
| anon 2014-01-28 21:28:52 Unknown |
Got a call from this number. They claim to be CRA and said they have legal documents to file a criminal case. The went further to ask if I had a criminal lawyer. That point I hung up and knew these are cra scam calls.
Anyone have info on this number. Is this legit number?
