Provincial Police are warning of the return of the Canada Revenue Agency scam in our area.
OPP have received several reports of the popular telephone scam.
People are targeted by someone claiming to be from the CRA or other government authority being accused of owing back taxes, having unpaid balances or having committed a financial crime.
The fraudster insists of immediate payment threatening the person with arrest, fines or even deportation.
They ask for payment through money service businesses or pre-paid cards and gift cards.
Police stress credible organizations will always provide time to verify personal information.
OPP add you should never be pressured to give money or personal information to someone you do not know.
