This has been going on for years, but my wife received a call last night that went to voice mail from someone claiming to be from the CRA saying that we owed them $3000.

She called the number back that they gave her (1-855-487-8483), and the person on the other end was continually insisting that she needed to pay this money, at one point saying that they would be sending the RCMP to our house to arrest her in the next half hour.

This is obviously not the CRA and if you search the phone number online you will see they have been doing this all over north America for a long time.

Don't forget, the CRA have all your financial information, if someone is demanding your SIN or something like that demand that they tell you what your income was last year, or 2 years ago. If they can't answer, they are NOT from the CRA. As well the CRA will send several notices by mail, culminating to a registered letter before they will ever threaten legal action or call you on the phone for immediate payment.

On my way home today from work we where on riverside drive. Seen lights flashing and as we got closer the officer had pulled over to help out a family change there tire on a busy street was great to see such a helpful man koodos to you sir

I was riding my motorcycle down Arner TownLine last weekend and the car behind me was directly on my tail (about 2 feet of space between us). I was travelling about 85 km/ hr. (So, over the speed limit!). This is EXTREMELY dangerous for a motorcyclist and is EXTREMELY unnerving. PLEASE people, be respectful of those on bikes, share the road and keep some space. There have been too many motorcycle accidents already this season and they usually occur because motorists aren't respectful of bikes. To the jerk who was behind me...the world doesn't revolve around you!

Found a money clip with a sum of cash in Olde Walkerville. Please post a description of it if you think it may be yours. Please share so that it is returned to the rightful owner.

Yesterday I received a call on my answering machine that said that I owed money to collections for past taxes not paid. I was surprised by this because I didn't remebering owing anything but I own my own small business and I thought I might have missed something. I called back the # its 1-855-487-8483 it sounded like a legit government number I even had to hold to talk to someone. The person said asked for my phone number and said my name and address after I give it to him.. He said I owed $3000 in back taxes. It was a little rude so I asked to talk to his manager, he refused to let me talk to anyone else and told me the RCMP would be taking me to court for back taxes and coming to a arrest me in half an hour; I felt shocked and upset I told him I needed some more information from him and had to call him Back after talk to my husband. He gave me a bogus website name (which turned out to be a profanity ) and I hung up on him. My husband looked it up and found out the phone number was a scam. I'm usually not so gullible but I was quite upset by this call; be careful not to give out any personal information people I didn't give out anything that wasn't in the phone book. Also if it's a legit government site they will have your information you don't need to give it out.. Just warning everyone !

Just want to say to the yahoos sitting in center field last night at a little league baseball game...REALLY!!!!! How old are you? You are adult enough to know not to threaten 8/ 9/ 10 year olds...It was a playoff game...there was no need to act the way you did. You took the attention away from the game and made it a bad experience for everyone involved...WAY TO GO!!! Just wanted to let you know that you have been spotted!

coming down Wilkinson drive this morning going east ...saw a small brown dog running on the grass going west ....he or she was in a hurry...there was a lot of traffic ...I wouldn't have had time to pull over even if I wanted to...it was running fast.....hope the owner finds him or hope he was running home....very concerned.....so if this dog sounds like yours and he is missing that is where he was going, west on Wilkinson drive at 7:20 am......today

After burning myself at work there was no clinic open late at night so I had decided to go to the hospital. After being notified by other patients that the wait time was 6-8 hours I was about ready to leave. I definitely felt out of place because it's not a life threatening injury. That's when the nurse called me up to sign me in when I told her what had happened. Instead of making me wait hours before I could get some sort of cream she decided to go grab me some to avoid the wait. I couldn't thank her enough for being so kind, I wish I could've gotten your name! You've been spotted!
