A telephone scam is at work in South Bayview. A recorded a message to a Moore Park home said the resident was going to be sued or arrested immediately for non-payment of taxes. It offered the prospective victim a chance to speak to a “live agent” about the matter. Similar calls are being made claiming Toronto Hydro is about to cut off power if a payment is not made immediately. In Vancouver, the messages recently in the CRA scam were so frightening that people went to the police station in fear that were about to be arrested. None of this is real, but the messages are likely to make anyone stop for a moment before hanging up. Which is what they should do.
