This number tried calling me at 9:45pm on a week night. No voice message. Did not answer as obviously some sort of scam call.

Hey I'm from Karratha too but I got an Indian bloke not a female who assured me my number had been chosen by the ATO (go figure) and they would give me five grand just because I was lucky. I said Bu***hit you d***head clearly you're a scammer and he hung up. Funny thing is he's called twice now and I hope he calls again so i can call him a d***head again. I don't get to do that very often.

Also, ATO told me I was NOT to ring these people...

HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY RUNG THEM? Do they ask you for info ? What details do they want?
REALLY CURIOUS......but ATO said not to ring- and well, I KNOW its a scame and NOONE is gonna GIVE me $5000, but I wanna know wtf they are up to?

I also received a phone call from an Indian lady instructing to ring (02) 6100 3286. She said she's calling on behalf of the the Australian government tax office and advised to ring the 02 number to speak to the senior supervisor in regards to obtaining a $7000 bonus money granted by the government to only a selection of people.

I have never believed in any of these stuff but I am pretty sure that there are people who will innocently think that they are really getting the money. Really annoying and I am too listed on the do not call register. So why are they still ringing???

I just got the same call saying because i had no criminal record and I paid my taxes on time that the taxation department was giving me $5000.....I just laughed at the hard to understand Indian accent and said I want to speak to your supervisor, and if you want to give me $5000 why don't you just give it to me now, why should I call back!!!!I ended up giving them a mouthful!Obviously you call back and get charged at a high call rate.We are on the do not call register and we get anoying calls like this nearly everyday because it is just for within Australia only.I feel sorry for poor people trying to make a dollar in India, but COME ON! that scam is ridiculas!

Yeah I got a call today at 1.20, also from Ryan an Indian man supposedly from the non existent confirmation department of the ATO in Melbourne. I have been chosen to be granted $7000!!! in my nearest bank?!?! because I have paid my taxes, not claimed bankrupcy and have no criminal record ( for the last six months). All I needed to do was call (03) 9016 9859 qoute my reference number to the supervisor!!! I was extremely sus and maybe stupid but I thought that a phone call can do no harm so I did call the number. An indian man answers ( no switchboard ) ( and its a Saturday ) after I questioned him some, he said he was very busy with too many calls and Im to call back in ten minutes. I quoted my reference number to him...??!! Do you think there could be any harm in doing this??
