Here is the message that was left on my answering machine on Friday, August 20th, 2015.

"So it is from your debt, there is a serious law suit filed against your name.
The issue at hand is very time sensitive. The very second you receive this message; I need you to return the call as soon as possible on my department number which is 613-704-1472. I repeat it 613-704-1472.
If I don’t receive your call you will have to face hard and unwanted legal consequences including your Social Insurance Number will be under investigation and will be red flagged forever.
To avoid all legal consequences, call me as soon as possible. Again this message is for you and this is Officer Eric Foster from Canada Revenue Agency.
Good bye and have a blessed day."

Got a call from this number claiming to be an employee of Revenue Canada (which hasn't existed by that name since 2003 - it's now the Canada Revenue Agency) claiming I owed a lot of money and there would be a lawsuit started to collect unless I called them back at this number (why? I'm on the phone with you right now!) and gave them my Social Insuracne Number and a credit card number.
