Crooks stole my corporation to apply for Covid benefits and CRA keeps sending them relief cheques. Part 1.

Part 1. Mysterious calls from CRA.I want to share a story about how our government blew all fraud control procedures with Covid money distribution and how potentially millions of dollars of Covid relief money are stolen from us by crooks – using flawed systems, lack of controls, and, honestly, nobody giving a f…k about our tax money.I have proofs for all the claims made in this story.If you work for the press and want to run this story, please contact me directly through reddit, providing your name and callback number matching public phone of your organization, I will call you back and I will work with you + provide all documents.Likewise, If you are from RCMP, SCIS or any independent agency at GC that wants to investigate, I will be glad to provide all details including ones not stated here.I will not talk to Industry Canada (ISED) or CRA on this matter, as these two agencies have vested interest in covering up their incompetency. In my eyes, they discredited themselves by allowing this scam to happen (and to continue to this day !!!!) whereas catching it would take 30 seconds spent to execute one SQL query in their databases.In the last part, I will even tell what that query should be.I withheld a lot of info because I do not know how big and powerful the ring that runs this scheme is, and I want to protect my privacy. This criminal organization might have accomplices inside Industry Canada or CRA. Honestly, I cannot imagine how they can pull if off otherwise.This is the issue of national importance, so I appreciate if you “like” and share this post.If you are skilled in web scraping / data mining and want to do the job of identifying the crooks, or at least, estimating the magnitude of this scheme, I will have some ideas in the last part.If you have questions about how the scam works, and why it was not stopped in 1+ year since Covid handouts started, I will provide my thoughts as well. Be patient and read on.The story starts in year 2016 when I decided to experiment with selling stuff on Amazon.I went to Kanton fair in China to find a supplier, then got me a business partner, and we registered new federal Canadian corporation for this project. In case you are interested – we were selling hydroponics equipment, trying to capitalize on the trend of growing plants at home. The sales were ok… ish, but nothing to be super excited about. At the same time, due to other circumstances, the stress in my life went up, and both me and my partner lost interest in this project. We did not come back to it since. Neither did we file any corporate returns, assuming that corporation will be closed automatically after a while.4 years have passed since. In the middle of the summer of 2021, I started receiving calls from CRA. In total, I received 5 calls from different people that wanted to talk to me about some returns submitted by that abandoned corporation. The conversation always went like this:Me: Please let me know what is going on because that corporation is not really activeCRA: Provide your address for security purposesMe: [ providing my home address at which the corporation was registered ]CRA: The address does not match our the recordsMe: wha… ????Admittedly, I was somewhat slow to catch on what was really going on, but from hints dropped by CRA employees during those 5 calls, I was able to figure out that someone has changed the address and directors for our corporation. I immediately contacted my former business partner and asked him whether he did that. He was just as surprised, but less ignorant about how easy it is to get info on any corporation in Canada. He sent me the link to the public record showing that the address and list of directors has been changed.According to that public record, me and my partner were removed from list of directors, and the guy named Naveen was the director now. Address was different, too. Our corporation was hijacked.I know that attention spans are short nowadays, so I will end this part here, but give you the preview of remaining partsPart 2. Naveen and Akash come to the scene. I google them up, and find out that my corporation was only one amongst many highjacked. I am starting to figure out how the scam likely worksPart 3. I call CRA and tell them about the scam. At the same time, trying to estimate how much money one can steal from the government’s COVID handouts using this scheme. (Spoiler: a lot, garage full of Lambos kind of money)Part 4. My suspicions are confirmed in the most unusual way. Government of Canada mails to the crooks a juicy check for “Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy” 30 days after I told CRA about the scam. By some luck or accident, they send it to my home address. It seems that they rolled back address change in their databases after my call, but in 30 days failed to stop the payments to the crooks. Bingo! I got the proof that the scam exists and works exactly as I suspected.I have that cheque sitting on my table as I write this, and I still cannot believe my eyes.Part 5. What can we do and who is to blame.Obviously our government cannot / will not do anything about it. But there must be a way to get stats on magnitude of this scam using public databases.Please like and share ! This stuff is important to all Canadians. I will be dropping parts 2 to 5 at the rate of approx. 1 per day, as I am still completing them.P.S. I first posted this story on r/canada thread with 1m+ subscribers, but moderators shit their pants and removed my post. via /r/PersonalFinanceCanada https://ift.tt/3DSjtL4
