RCMP warn public after Kamloops senior falls victim to CRA scam
KAMLOOPS — The infamous Canada Revenue Agency scam has reared its ugly head.
Kamloops RCMP say they have been made aware of a local senior who was recently taken in by the scam.
The 80 year old man received a call from someone claiming to represent the CRA, telling him that his 2015 tax return contained a series of errors.
The scammer said if the man didn’t purchase $4000 worth of gift cards, two CRA officers would come to his home and place him under arrest.
