Fraud Scam Alert
Friday, August 28, 2015 at 12:19PM Some of you may have heard of the “Revenue Canada” Scam. The caller states; they are from Revenue Canada and they are advising you that you are being “investigated for improper filing of tax returns, you are under criminal investigation”. The phone message received today on our phone, came from area code 613-366-3900..
This morning I spoke to the RCMP headquarters in Ladysmith, (Ladysmith detachment is responsible for policing our area community as well).
The Officer advised me that this scam is one of the biggest ones they are attempting to deal with. He also requested that I advise our community of the RCMP Fraud WEB Site; WWW Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. The Web site lists all the major Internet and Phone Scams to date along with other valuable information. The RCMP Ladysmith Detachment Phone Number is; 250-245-2215.
The TIRRA Executive, in discussion with RCMP is planning to have an Officer attend one of our future General Meetings for a community discussion and Q and A session.
