He mentioned the recent report on the menacing CRA (Canadian Revenue Agency) scammer who had the nerve to show up a woman’s door with handcuffs, and threatened to arrest her if she didn’t hand over money. The lady said that she had been receiving fake phone calls from this scammer for weeks beforehand.
“Fake phone calls are no joke and they can take dangerous turns at times. It’s also becoming more and more difficult to identify fake phone calls and scammers as they’re always coming up with new tactics and strategies.

PhonePenguin was launched to address the lack of a similar phone reporting service or agency in Canada.
“Yes, we have the YellowPages, the WhitePages and various local government agencies, but we wanted something that was more community driven and will put the keys in the hands of our users. And it led to the foundation of PhonePenguin. The strength of PhonePenguin lies behind its community, and the willingness of its users to report any fake phone calls they receive.
