YORK

York Region Police have issued a warning, in relation to a new fraud scheme making it’s rounds and this one was scary. Police say on Tuesday a woman received a call from someone claiming to be from the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) claiming the woman owed overdue taxes. When the victim hung up, a short while later, a second phone call came in from a phone number that showed up at York Regional Police on her call display.  The woman hung up again.  A short while later 2 suspects driving a black SUV showed up at her home. She didn’t answer her door and they eventually left. Police say some scammers have special software to alter their phone numbers to make it appear that they are calling from another phone identity.
