After they stated most of our personal details from a private number, the Indian lady caller offered a tax refund of over $6000 stating we had been overcharged on lots of small transactions. Offered a cheque in the mail or a direct credit. They asked us to call back on (02) 8091 3990 to clarify the details.

I have just received the very same call, only the caller was a male with a Malaysian accent. Same conversation and same amount of money being 'refunded'. I figured that it was a scam once they asked for birth date and bank details. After refusing to give details over the phone I hung up.

Basically the same as all the others..... received a call telling me that the federal government overcharged me over $6000 and they want to clarify some personal details before giving the money to me ...... same storey once again - call (02) 8091 3990 - quickly speak to mike or Angela Cooper..... either we can give you a cheque or please give me your banking details....... not likely. Sounds totally like a scam to me.

Just received a call from a Malaysian woman saying that i had been overcharged by my bank of $6450.00 and told me to ring this number - (02) 8091 3990. She asked me my birth date and i gave it to her and she questioned that it was the right one. I told her it was a hoax and she kept telling me to ring this number!

Similar to previous comments. However, as he police must have the phone number of these scammers, why can't they take action against these people?

I just got the same call with the same Ref number AC225 and to ring the manager on the same number (02) 8091 3990 and ask for Mike Watson or Angelina Coccer (similar name). Said they were from the Reclaim Dept of the Australia Federal Government. So I rang the scamwatch and they agreed it was more than likely a scam. http://www.scamwatch.gov.au/. They seem to have a lot of information at hand, not liking that at all.

Received a call from these fools telling me the tax office will refund me $6000 or something like that due to overcharged bank fees. Asked whether I want a cheque or direct deposit, so I said direct deposit and gave a fake bank account number and fake birthday. She then asked me to ring (02) 8091 3990 and quote AC225 and speak to "John Douglas" or "Angelina Cooper" (LOL LOL!). Didn't bother to ring and she rang back asking why I haven't called yet. Gave her a run around and got her confused and then she hung up.

ATO SCAM

Caller type: Scam
Location: Australia
They are trying to get either your bank details to remove money from your bank or collect the $400 from as many people who will pay the money into their Western Union account. The ATO does not operate like this and anyone who falls for this scam is silly. If you were owed a refund from the ATO, they would send you the cheque without a phone call or write a letter for you to contact them on a specific number to organise the refund. The ATO does not charge you to get your own money back.

I have received today, the 23rd of September 2015, a call from a woman with an Indian accent. She said she was from the federal government and I had been charged an extra $6.325.00 in the last tax year and they wish to send me a check to my address which she read out. I confirmed the detail and my date of birth and she gave me a ref number and a phone number to call. I asked her why I have to call and why she couldn't just send me the check at the address she had already. She said it all had to go through the supervisors named Angelina Cooper and Joan Douglas. I rang the number and a man answered me and told me to ring after 15 minutes because he was busy with another call. I rang again and a woman answered the phone "Australian Government Reclaims Department" and I told her the ref number and she asked me to confirm my date of birth and my address. She said that it was correct and wanted an account number to make the deposit. I asked her to send a check. She said that the check will arrive within 24 hours but I have to pay more than $ 400 dollars to get the 'package'. I asked her why they take from the 'check'. She answered that they cannot do that because $6.325.00 is my money. I asked her to speak with her supervisors Angelina Cooper or Joan Douglas and she said that they were not there at the moment. I told her that I find the story very strange and I believe it is a scam. She answered that I can do what I want and she was busy working so she hang up. What is going to happen? Are they using my information for another scam?

I received a call this afternoon, again an Indian lady who claimed to be from "Reclaims Dept of Aust Federal Government". She explained that I was entitled to a refund of bank fees from my bank. She also gave me a case number and the call back number 80913990 (Sydney). She then asked me for my bank account details so that they could return the money directly to my account. I said "No, because the bank should already have those details". That's when she gave me the speech about being from the Federal Government and that I could contact her Manager on this number.

I received a similar call this morning. I did not ring the number and just presumed it was a total scam. If anyone knows more about it I would like to know.

Ditto with Robert August 21, 2015. Got a call exactly the same, they gave the number and ref number also. I called the number back and they said office closed, called back tomorrow. Unfortunately I did give correct DOB, but nothing else. Reported it to ATO. They do not call, it would naturally just be sent.

Got a call from a chap and he said he was from the federal govt and i had been charged an extra $6000 in the last tax year and they wish to send me a check to my address which he read out. I confirmed the detail and he gave me a ref number and a phone number to call. I asked him as to why I had to call and why he couldn't just send me the check at the address he had. He said it all had to go through the supervisor. I rang the number and he was the one who picked up the call. I told him the ref number and he asked me to confirm my DOB and I gave him a wrong DOB. He said that was correct and wanted an account number to make the deposit. I asked him to send a check. Then he wanted a credit card number so he can charge me for the postage and handling. I told him to take it out of the money that is owed and he told me that they weren't allowed to do that. I asked him if he was from the tax office and he said he was working under instruction from the tax office. I told him I will contact the tax office and confirm the details he had just given and he got a bit stroppy. He said if I didn't want the money than that's fine but he had to make sure that he had all my details first so he can delete my name and inform the tax office that I didn't want the money. He again asked for my account details so he can confirm if he was talking to the right person. I asked him my TFN and he said I didn't have it. I told him that the tax office doesn't give out any details to a third party and the tax office never make a call. They always send a letter. He got a bit more stroppy and told me that I don't understand how the tax office works so I told him that I worked for the tax office in Melbourne. He hung up.

My parents just had a call from this numbers stating they were owned money from their bank and the government and asking them to clarify some of their personal details. My mother was wary and so was reassured they were legit and she could phone them back on (02) 8091 3990 and clarify. I told her it was a sham but phoned the number out of interest and a lady with an indian accent answered the phone "Australian Government Reclaims Department" when I asked her again what department she repeated the same - when I asked where she was based she said Sydney - when I said 'I don't think so' she quickly hung up - BEWARE!!!
