It’s not necessary to call police if you receive a about a Canada Revenue Agency scam. Last month, the Ontario Provincial Police warned the public with regards to the ongoing Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Scam that is running rampant throughout Ontario. West Parry Sound OPP says the OPP Provincial Communications Centres and local OPP Detachments are getting numerous calls from the public saying they have received one of these calls. Police say it’s not necessary to contact the OPP to report that you have received one of these calls unless you are a victim of Fraud that can be attributed to this scam. Officers say while the intention of letting police know you have received such a call is appreciated, those calls are at times restricting the OPP’s ability to take calls for service from the public that require a police response. Any calls regarding the Canada Revenue Agency Scam should be directed to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or to their website at www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.
