The Department of Justice issued a public service advisory on Monday afternoon to alert the public that it did not place those calls.
Anyone who has received a suspicious phone call and wishes to report it is urged to contact the Canadian anti-Fraud Centre, which is responsible for dealing with fraudulent phone calls.
