Hey all, Hoax goes international today. Got ahold of these fake Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) scammers and went for some good old-fashioned spam bombardment. Enjoy!

The scam: An agent claiming to be from the CRA will call and threaten you with jail or court charges for unpaid taxes. The scammer will attempt to get you to send money immediately through wire transfer or a prepaid card to clear the charges. Absolute scam, the CRA does not operate this way. If you encounter this type of call, troll them mercilessly, then report the number.
