Got same "due to a national economic crisis..."
on both home and cell phones.
Definitely a spam. I reported it to Email: info @ antifraudcentre.ca

Please if significant part of those who got a spam will report, authorities will do something!
This caller is annoying and behaived as illegal criminal.
No one picked a return call !
