I've just had a call from this number. Apparently I'm a pensioner (not quite there yet lol!) who has not been paying tax for over 7 years.
I told him I knew it was a scam that I'm reporting him to the police, to go away and stop ripping people off. Also said a few other choice things that are not for public view 😁

recorded message about tax scam, male voice recording sounded indian at 5.25pm this day of the report

Scam alert

Major Fraud Squad is warning all West Australians about a phone scam that is currently doing the rounds in Perth. Members of the public are receiving calls supposedly from the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (CDPP), requesting them to call the Office back in relation to legal proceedings against them.

The calls suggest your home is under surveillance, and failure to respond will result in prosecution. Ultimately, the intention is to trick the call recipient into providing bank account details.

The calls are not from the CDPP or the Australian Tax Office, and government agencies will not ask for monetary deposits of any kind. We remind people that if they receive these types of unsolicited calls from any person purporting to be from a State or Federal Government agency, obtain a name and reference number. Then call the agency from a number sourced from the correct web site.

See http://www.scamwatch.gov.au/ for further information.

Received a call from this number yesterday, some guy reckoning I have debt with the ATO.
He wasn't impressed when I told him I knew it was a scam and to bugger off. I have reported it to the ATO.

Yesterday Phone call said that I was going to have a criminal case against me re tax fraud/evasion if I didnt call them back. Very animated call and did not even address me by name. I have reported it to the tax office in Qld.

Threat of tax fraud legal action in heavily "robotic" sounding voice, claiming to be from the ATO.
