Not a shit lot, I'd say. Can't charge him with exortion in another country AFAIK.
Earlier today we had a east indian-sounding guy call our house claiming to be with the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) - and saying we owe outstanding taxes and he'd put a "lien on your taxes and send out an arrest warrant on us."
I suspected the asshole was a scammer as soon as I heard the voice, but then confirmed when he started issuing threats. I don't owe any taxes, anyways. But the guy initially sounded convincing - since we DO have a lot of east indian/punjab types working for the CRA here in Canada.
