Credit Cards and Citizenship and Immigration Canada

Citizenship and Immigration Canada: The incident happened in the early afternoon of April 20, when the victim received a call from a number that appeared to be associated with Citizenship and Immigration Canada, according to Metro News. Thinking the threat was real, the man following the caller order purchased some pre-loaded credit cards and handed over the credit card information to the fraudster and Abbotsford police say a man was recently scammed out of $2,000 after being threatened with deportation. The caller, speaking both English and Punjabi, told the man that he had to pay $4,280 within seven hours or he would face deportation. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
