<prompt> Human: Just to inform everyone that my Grandmother widowedhas been receiving phone calls from CRA Threatening that she owes money or they will repossess everything that she owes. This is a scam, they target old people and is Elder Abuse- If I would ever meet one of these guys I would personally beat the shit out of them. My grandmother was in tears when she thought they were going to take everything and just want everyone to be aware of what is going on. A report was done in the Toronto Star about this; a week after my grandmother was called and harassed.  <response>: Guy here at work got caught up in this same scam. He was running around trying to scare up 8k and asking us questions like Can CRA take my house? I told him that CRA would never phone him out of the blue and demand money. If you owe CRA money, you can be damn sure that when they come for it, its not a surprise.He finally got suspicious when they told him 1. that they would come to his house to get it and 2. no cheques or money orders, but prepaid credit cards or electronics store gift cards.Yes, really - he finally thought something was fishy when they wanted Best Buy gift cards.I dont advise people to try to deal with these people themselves. They are gangsters, and if you start violence with them, you are going to be very sorry.
