Recently, I got a message from my friend in India asking about his acquaintance being offered a job with Walsh Group, Vaughan.

I was surprised that Canadian companies would go outside Canada offering jobs. I Googled and found this

There was a similar situation that occurred two years ago and I was close by where their offices are situated and I dropped in at their front door and found that they were a scam and reported that here in CD. Their name is the same and they have revived their act and tactics once more.

PLEASE DO NOT FALL A PREY TO THESE SWINDLERS.

I have got a Call from 1-613-699-1956. He said he is speaking from Canada Revenue Agency and he has a warrant against me.

Warrant ID: ON 1928

His name Officer: Jason Wright, Badge Id :4471


My faults he listed:

1. violation of banking regulation

2. breach of contract CRAA,

3. providing misleading info to govt authorities,



Pay now $1289.23 and close the file or he will take the file to court which will end up paying thousands of dollars


I have reported all my income / information to CRA correctly till date and thats how I can tell its fraud call but He had my correct address with him.

I have sent this email to RCMPs email listed on CRAs website,


I am passing this information to you in no time so that i can save somebody of being their victim.

MY colleague at work got a similar call. Same name and badge number, a very thick desi accent, but he said he's calling from Immigrations Canada. Infact the phone display was a Immigrations Canada 1-800 number.

He said they're a case against you (my colleague) and asked if he received any documents at home. I started questioning him and he dropped the call, but called back in a few minutes. This time we didn't answer the call.

My brother got a similar call, as love_n_peace with the exact same details a few months ago. He even left a call back number. I called back and threatened to get him arrested, he just dropped the call.

Buyers beware....especially if you have parents at home and they start panicking

I got hit with this a few months back.
In that case, the scammer claimed to be from the US IRS (Internal Revenue Service), claiming that I had unpaid taxes in the US.

For 1 brief minute, I was indeed stumped because I used to live in the US (although I used to file my tax returns correctly every year).

But the moment he asked for immediate payment via credit card, I knew it was a scam.
Also, the incoming number was Delaware listed - one of the favorite breeding grounds for scammers.

I asked him for his extension number at the IRS, and said I will call him back via the main IRS call center and proceed from there.
He hung up immediately.

I am guessing they trawl through names and addresses via phone books, Google, and 411 listings to try and match people with previous addresses.

This perhaps is the best approach to handle the scammers.

I have bought brand new Hyundai from Rexdale Blvd in Toronto. The Salesman also succeeded to sell me a warranty with it which increased my biweekly payment by $16 biweekly for 8 years. Now they want all the services and oil changes to be done at their shop which costs me $100 to $300 otherwise they will cancel my warranty. I cant do my oil changes and service outside else warranty gets terminated!!!!!

corporate white collar scammers!!!!!!
