CRA Phone Scam from (844) 801-9243

This morning my wife had a voice mail message from a ‘James Morrison’ from CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) with a thick Indian accent threatening a lawsuit. I’ve received several of these CRA phone scam calls over the years but this is the first one for my wife.

For any Canadian that receives a phone call from CRA threatening a lawsuit, do NOT call the number they give you in the phone call, i.e. (844) 801-9243, but rather go to CRA’s web site, look up phone number for your region and then give them a quick call to double check with them.

The bottom-line is that a call from (844) 801-9243 or a call that wants you to call (844) 801-9243 IS A SCAM – do not call.
