Call from the Legal Department of Service Canada

I now receive these calls several times a day. Pretty much the only people who call me are scammers, telemarketers, Canadian Blood Services for blood donations and my mother. They are 100% fraudulent and most likely call from the same part of the world, call for sewer cleaning, or pretend to be the Canada Revenue Agency or Microsoft Security. I get them every day from different numbers, but all with the short version of the Ontario area code: they use a number randomizer that doesn`t really show a real phone number, so they can make thousands of calls from a different number at a time. Watch the video, it`s a funny explanation about John Oliver`s robocalls Last year, there was a period of 3 or 4 months when I left more than a dozen voice messages from someone pretending to be from Revenue Canada (the call announcement also said “CRA”). I thought it was a scam and googled his number and found information it was. The message always said that I should have my SIN ready to give it away when I call it back. Bags of earth. I once thought of answering one of their calls to tell them what I thought of them, but I couldn`t be disturbed.

9 calls in the last three days. All area codes 226 or 613 The Department of Justice is aware of “fake” calls that appear to be from one of our offices, but are fraudulent.

Instead, call the number listed online on their official websites. If you have received a suspicious call and would like to report it, please contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, the authority responsible for handling such fraudulent calls. It`s probably phishing, but if you really want to be sure, ask Service Canada. For example, I have already received calls from the CRA, and it was worth checking again. These are fraudulent calls, similar to fraudulent Social Security number calls in the United States. Fraudulent calls. I get them on my work phone, which isn`t even under my name. I just received a call from 613-288-5512 informing me that this is Service Canada and that my SIN card has been cancelled due to suspicious activity. Apparently, this is common enough that there is a clue about it: www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/fraud-escroquerie/spoofing-falsification-eng.htm Service Canada will not call you. If someone calls and pretends to be him, he is a scammer and you should hang up or waste as much time as possible so that he can`t fool anyone. Bonus points if you get them to insult you.

For those of you who post or block the numbers you call, this video explains why this is an unnecessary waste of time: your caller ID (caller ID) usually displays the phone number and name associated with the line you were called on. Unfortunately, fraudulent telemarketers can change the information displayed on the caller ID ad (a practice known as caller ID theft) to misrepresent themselves and trick someone into answering the call. Hi guys, I apologize in advance if this isn`t the right submarine for that. I`ve been getting a lot of calls from different numbers lately and it`s always the same bot voice saying the same thing. “This call refers to a directive issued by Service Canada against your SIN. I know it must be a scam because I haven`t done anything illegal, I still have many years on my license, I don`t even work here and the calls come from a different number every time, but I wanted to look around and see if it`s a common thing, or if I am wrong and it is legitimate? If you feel the need to share information with authorities, report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and also read their resources to learn about scams.
