Victor’s nightmare began with a phone call from someone claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency, informing him he owed thousands in unpaid taxes. If he didn’t pay immediately, he would be arrested. Victor was too embarrassed to ask his daughter for help. Had he messed up that badly? The scammer picked up on his panic, demanding his social insurance number and immediate payment. Fortunately for Victor, he was so overwhelmed he hung up on the caller and stopped answering calls unless he recognized the number. When he finally told his daughter what happened, she assured him that it had been a scam because the CRA never demands immediate payment or make threatening phone calls.
