Purporting to be Amazon Prime & wanted to send a code to my laptop if I want to cancel the service. They couldn't answer me when I asked why they needed to know if I had a "laptop or computer"

Caller: Some one pretending to be from the ATO Hey do you want to know how these guys work. What they would like you to do is answer your phone. They have a line connection and instantly make several spoof calls to other unsuspecting customers. Telstra will bill you at 84c per call these muppets make. They make 10 calls in a minute that's $8.40. Telstra cannot do anything to prevent this happening. Best thing you can do, set your message bank to 101. These scammers hate that as 1. They can only make one spoof call from message bank to your number 2. They have to go through several menus and options to make that one call, it slows them down disrupts their call process and even though it will still cost you 0.84 cents for the call.
If there is enough people who have the same thing happening maybe Telstra will do something to stop the like of these scammers direct from stealing from you to make calls to further their own business

Caller: desperate intellectually retarded individuals Using a computer voice, threatened me with arrest if I didn't call them back. claimed to be part of "a department division" but didn't mention which department. No details of any kind were given, about me, or them, or what I'd be arrested for. I think It was probably some 30 year old who still lives in the basement of his mothers house, who doesn't have a girlfriend, or any friends beyond those he's made in the online world of Warcraft. A very sad state of affairs.

Got a call from this number claiming to Federal Police and linked to legal case being started by the Taxation Department including a warrant for my arrest. - Interesting since they called a business number and the call was automated. They did give a reference number, but said to call back before legal papers are filed and further action is taken..... Sounds like a scam to me.
