Not so much a 'spotting' as a 'hearing.'

So far today I've had 2 messages from the same scammer, basically telling me there is an arrest warrant in my name, and if they don't hear back from me at the given number, the results will be on my head.

It sounded "off," of course (who phones somebody to WARN them there's an arrest warrant out for them??) but I was curious, so called the number after the first message ... only to be connected with the Canada Revenue Agency's Tax Audit Department. The gentleman on the other end said RevCan NEVER calls people if there's a problem with their taxes; they send a registered letter.

First message was this morning; second was five minutes ago.

What kind of idiot scammers (a) leave a message, and (b) give you a phone number to a REAL government agency?!

Anyway, if you get this message, just snicker and delete it.
