You won this, you won that.' Again, it's the emotion," said Meyer. "They want you to be so overcome with joy that you're not thinking, `Wait a minute, I didn't even enter any contest. How did I win this?'" One of the regularly-reported scams in Halton involves a caller pretending to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), claiming a victims owes money for unpaid taxes. First, the CRA would never call demanding immediate payment by phone. "The CRA will send letter after letter after letter before it finally decides to contact you," said Meyer. He said this is a situation where "spoofing" is involved, where the caller can change or hide their number to fool their intended target. The phone scam sees a caller use highpressure tactics to get victims to disclose personal information and/or hand over money. Recently, fraudsters have been urging victims to visit a local store to purchase Apple iTunes cards and give redemption codes to the caller. "If you ever think, `I might owe money,' ask for their name and tell them you're going to hang up and call them back. Get their name and department. If they're legitimate, they will tell you no problem," said Meyer. "If it' s a scammer, they're going to tell you if you hang up that phone, they're going to come to your door to arrest you." Non-emergency, fraud-related inquires can be reported to Fraud Intake at 905-465-8741 (Monday to Friday 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. or Halton 905 825-4777 (north Halton 905-878-5511).
