A couple of Vernon residents are reminding others not to fall for the ongoing phone scams.

香蕉视频直播淭hey香蕉视频直播檙e on it again,香蕉视频直播� said Vera Niehaus, who recently received a call from someone claiming to be from Canada Revenue Agency.

香蕉视频直播淭hey told me I committed a fraud on my income tax and to call a certain number or they香蕉视频直播檒l be after me.香蕉视频直播�

But the alert resident didn香蕉视频直播檛 fall for that old trick.

香蕉视频直播淚 knew Revenue Canada wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 call,香蕉视频直播� she said.

CRA scams aren香蕉视频直播檛 the only ones circulating.

Another Vernon resident recently had a call from someone who faked their caller ID.

香蕉视频直播淚 had a call showing my ex wife香蕉视频直播檚 name and phone number,香蕉视频直播� said Barry Baptist, who answered the call thinking something was wrong with her.

But once the caller started asking about a Visa purchase he knew right away that it was a scam.

香蕉视频直播淲e get them every week, phone calls like this,香蕉视频直播� said Baptist of the scams, which are increasingly raising identity theft concerns.

The RCMP said there hasn香蕉视频直播檛 been an influx in scam reports, but the CRA has.

香蕉视频直播淭axpayers should be vigilant when they receive, either by telephone, mail, text message or email, a fraudulent communication that claims to be from the Canada Revenue Agency requesting personal information such as a social insurance number, credit card number, bank account number, or passport number,香蕉视频直播� the CRA states on its website

香蕉视频直播淭hese scams may insist that this personal information is needed so that the taxpayer can receive a refund or a benefit payment. Cases of fraudulent communication could also involve threatening or coercive language to scare individuals into paying fictitious debt to the CRA.香蕉视频直播�

Those suspecting scam calls or emails should report deceptive telemarketing to the online or by calling 1-888-495-8501.

If you suspect you may be the victim of fraud or have been tricked into giving personal or financial information, contact your local police service.
