RCMP have received complaints regarding fraudulent phone calls from an individual claiming to be part of the Canada Revenue Agency.

The caller claims to be from the agency and that taxes are owed, and uses threatening or aggressive language to frighten people into paying the fictitious debt.

The caller has also been reported to ask for personal information from the potential victims.

If you have lost money or provided personal information, you are advised to report it to your local RCMP Detachment immediately.

The public is reminded that if a call of this nature is received, you can contact the Phone Busters Fraud Line or the CRA to confirm the legitimacy of the phone call.
