Its the dumbest, most obvious scam I can think of but its been going on for years.

People are gullible, and there's a reason why these scammers make so many phone calls,. Because frankly if you ignore it they keep going. If you respond there's a 50% chance that you're going to give money, if they get the person they're calling asking questions, or who isn't aware of what's going on, it probably jumps to a 75% chance of success.
The biggest problem was for years, the CRA went around bullying people and scaring the crap out of them, so of course to someone that's maybe older or not that smart, they're going to believe the threats. When they say they're sending an RCMP office to your door to collect, these people aren't going to phone the thcops. They are expecting to see a cop.
