It seems every day our police services are warning us of yet another scam running rampant across the country.
Last year I played the recording on air of one I received at home claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency. In it, you can hear the man trying to persuade me to bite using very aggressive and threatening language.
I called back the number they gave me (on air) and got through, revealing the techniques some will go to separate you from your money.
I did the same with a voice message left for me yesterday by another “officer” demanding I call back immediately. When we tried, all we got was a busy signal this time.
It is amazing how similar these scams can be and the sophistication they will use to try to snag you. But there are always clues — especially in the language.
Be aware!
