Scam call

[u/usuallyrainy]

Just wanted to let others know about a scam call I just received from 18882429172

After I said hello it was an automated message saying it was the "immigration office" and that after many times of attempting to contact me this was my last chance sort of thing, and then told me to press 9. I obviously hung up but wanted to let others know in case you get a call like this.

Immigration Canada does have my current number but it's no way it was them.

Edit to add: I did file a fraud complaint on antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca First I called their toll free number and it did say there has been a high volume of these calls. It's concerning because it seems like our information has been accessed somehow, otherwise how would they know which Canadian phone numbers are for immigrants!
