<prompt> Human: I live in Canada and I got a call today from someone claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency. I could immediately tell that something was off because there was a bit of a delay before the call was connected that usually indicates an international call. The guy had an indian accent and told me his name was Kevin Smith was going to tell him Im a big fan of his work. Anyways he goes on to tell me that Im being accused of tax evasion and that I owe them somewhere around 5000. He had me write down all of these numbers such as employee id, case id, and phone numbers which Im assuming are fake. I wrote them down anyway just in case some information was real. He then proceeds to tell me that the case will be taken to court and that if I lose Ill have to pay a large sum and if I cant produce the amount then I will do 5-7 years of prison time. Here is where his story goes off the rails a bit. He then tells me that when this call has ended the information will be sent to the local courthouse and police station and theyll be coming over to pick me up in around an hour. If only our legal system was so quick to act. At this point I wanted to know what his angle was. He hasnt made any mention of direct payment to resolve the issue so I tell him that what hes telling me isnt really adding up. How can I pay the 5000 if youre charging me and having me arrested?. Wanted him to think that hed reeled one in to tell me what the catch was. He then tells me that its out of his hands but he could talk to some of his superiors to see what ways there were around it. Basically he wants me to stay on the line and send him the money. The reason why I decided to post this is because the same motherfuckers had called my aunt and had her convinced of this story. They had her on her cellphone going to the mall to send them a money order. I know it sounds stupid but there had been a little uncertainty with the taxes this year due to my grandmothers passing and she let that doubt mess with her head. More than the money itself it stressed my aunt out and I didnt like seeing her that way. It took a lot of willpower not to cuss this guy out but I wanted to get all the details and also simultaneously waste Kevins time by thinking he had me going. Inform your family and friends of this scam. Ones you think might fall victim to these scumbags especially.  <response>: Same scam is run in the United States with the impostors pretending to be IRS.
