LETTER: Phone scam hits home

Dear Editor: You may have tuned into the evening news Aug.

Dear Editor:

You may have tuned into the evening news Aug. 12, into the report on a scam that happened to a person in the Okanagan; regarding a phone call received, saying that he was a police officer connected to Canada Revenue Agency, telling them they owed monies from back taxes etc.

We also received a similar call with a threat: “This is an officer from the criminal investigation department of Canada Revenue, a lawsuit has been issued against you, if you do not respond to this call, an arrest warrant will be issued in your name.”

Fortunately, we did not respond. Be aware that these calls are going around.
