Your S.I.N. is Compromised

Picked up the phone and heard this.

"Your S.I.N. has been compromised."

Your SIN has not been compromised. Someone attempted to scam you, so I am hoping for your sake you promptly hung up.

For the past two years I've been getting phone calls warning me -- "for the last time", no less -- that the RCMP have issued a warrant for my arrest due to unpaid taxes and that I need to contact CRA immediately via a phone number they provide. *CLICK*

If your SIN was compromised, you'd receive a letter from Service Canada asking you to contact them, and it would be on Service Canada letterhead and include contact information you could easily verify.

I press 1 and get talking to them, to string them along a bit. .

Does this mean I can stop paying taxes?
Can you please compromise my wife's SIN card too then?

It gets them way off their script.
The often hang up on me, which is a great switcharoo

I just delete the message and block the number when I get these types of idiotic calls. So obviously fraudulent. I do warn friends and family that I consider vulnerable to this nonsense, just in case. As someone already pointed out, the RCMP is not the CRA's debt collector and will not show up at your door to arrest you. Just ignore these pieces of shit. Attempting to play with them proves they can engage you and will no doubt result in other scams appearing in your message box.

These idiots have no intelligence and just sledgehammer every number and email list they have and just overload them with volume.

Who knows some of these calls could be from credit protection companies scaring people in buying the protection from them :)
FYI, I just tell them, if you call me and you don't know my SIN, get lost. If you are police, come to my home and we can talk!
You are never obligated to give out your personal information to anyone including the police.

I hanged up immediately after I heard the first sentence but there were 3 more subsequent calls.

This follows on the heel of the "Paypal" email offering me $5. I called the real Paypal and was told "no $5 for you".

Haven't heard from the "fraudulent credit card charges" folks for a while now.

I've been offered billions of dollars over the years by Nigerian Princes and all other manner of exotic potentates. And all they ask for is my banking information.

They are getting more sophisticated by spoofing numbers to make you think it is someone from your area. This works well if, like me you are from a small town and when you see the exchange you think is someone local until you answer. Unfortunately by answering your number has probably been spoofed.

I had heard about the S.I.N calls and one time when I answeredand the person mentioned that my S.I.N. # had been comprimised I told them that I did not have a sin number as I was a devout christian and would never have anything to do with anything in which sin was involved but said I would pray for them and hung up.

Had one today from Amazon, something about iphones being purchased on my account. If I didn't buy it, press 1. So I did and when the fraudster answered I told him to go fuck himself. He has a similar reply, then hung up.

Another time I strung the reduced interest rate caller along, told him I had 5 credit cards with high balances. He was stumped when I asked him why I had to give him the numbers before he could tell me what my new monthly payment would be.

I love these calls. I follow through.
When I get to talk to the people there, I scream non stop from the top of lungs ‘Fuck You’
Hoping to make their life miserable so that they quit..,
If all of us do this, the operators will get depressed and they quit…

I do much the same. I try to arrest the bastards but the RCMP fraud department is very lazy - they do occasionally work but rarely. With great effort and skill you can do what his women did

I've been avoiding warrants for my arrest for a good 4 years now according to these phone calls...but everything can be taken care of immediately if I press 1...
