CRA scammed I pranked

A few years ago, CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) scammers kept calling every few months.

They were telling me that I owed them XXX dollars and that the police were in their way to arrest me.

This person got fed up with the scammers.

I finally got fed up after a year of calls, so I told them something in a very cheerful voice.

That my brother, brother-in-law, and neighbour were on the fraud squad.

This was not true, by the way.

Now, they aren’t calling them anymore.

I told them that I am calling them to see what time they’re coming over, so I can make sure the coffee pot is on.

And I’ll have their favourite cookies and cakes baked so they’re ready when they come to “arrest” me.

I haven’t heard from those scammers since.

LOL. That was funny. Gotta love scamming the scammers!
