RCMP said it appears the calls are originating from an area code in India, but some calls are utilizing a transfer service that identifies a North American source.

The Canada Revenue Agency warns that if you receive a suspicious call, email, letter or text message that is asking for personal information such as your social insurance number, credit card number, bank account number or passport number that it is a scam. The CRA will never send an unsolicited email with a link and ask for a person to divulge personal or financial information. They also will not ask for that information via tex message or leave any of your personal information on an answering machine. The CRA will not ask to be paid by prepaid credit cards or gift cards.
