CRA scammer no match for senior
An alert senior has foiled a would-be telephone scammer.
Darlene Poncelet lives in Tway, south of Prince Albert with her husband Jim. She received a few voice mails earlier this week from a caller claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency demanding $6,000 in taxes owed by her husband.
Poncelet called back and the lady on the line seemed pretty convincing.
“She said they’d sent the RCMP to our house, they’d left a yellow tag on our door, and sent three registered letters,” she said. “But we didn’t receive anything like that.”
