Just had this jerk call. Harassing my mother. Luckily it went to voicemail. She would have fallen for it otherwise.

I notified my local police in case they could nab the caller, who was quite unpleasant.

Yes it is a scam but why aren't the police doing something to trace and stop this man.

Just got one of those calls. No Caller ID but after the threats about police coming to arrest me left above number. Tried to ring and tell him to ****off, but it just rang and no one answered. My home phone doesn't show it's number so maybe they wouldn't pick up.

Got this threatening message this morning. Called ATO to check. ATO always contact by mail for things like that. Do NOT call them back, they will be after personal info they can use for fraud.

I had the same message left on my answering machine tonight. A very angry sounding man! Immediately made me realise it wasn't the tax office!

Similar to other posts. Number attempts to threaten you with alleged "tax evasion". Had a guy trying really hard to fake an accent, had a good laugh.

Had same message left this morning and used this web site to confirm my first thoughts that this was a scam. More of an Indian or sub continent accent. Guy signs off with a "have a great day" message after trying to deliver some bad hype. Ha Ha, what an idiot.

We received a call tonight on our answer phone, kind of thought it would be a scam so glad I checked. But if this had been my Dads answer phone he would have probably not realised and been very stressed and most likely followed all the instructions. Thank goodness for this digital age where we can easily check these things!
