RCMP warning about CRA scam in Sask.
A Canada Revenue Agency scam has cost dozens of people thousands of dollars in Saskatchewan.
RCMP said they’ve received more than 850 complaints about the scam this year alone, with 17 people fallen victim and $70,000 in losses.
In this particular scam, a person might get a call from someone pretending to be from the CRA or police. The caller will say money is owed and threaten legal action, arrest and seizure of things like homes and vehicles if payment isn’t made.
Sometimes numbers from a scam call from can look like Saskatchewan area codes, but police said it’s often 800-numbers or non-Saskatchewan area codes.
