Male caller left a message stating that I was being investigated for being part of a tax evasion / avoidance scheme. Said I needed to ring him back on 02 888 0490 otherwise I may be arrested. Do not ring back - this is a scam.

Received the same voice message as others on this page. The message said it was the ATO and I was going to be served a warrant for Tax Evasion. It said to call back immediately, which I did, but the number was blocked. It's obviously a scam.

ATO scam, Phone back or risk arrest. It's not a public number in the phone book or on the ATO web site. I phoned back and told them what to do with the rough end of a pineapple.

Just rang it again after being threatened with arrest under Commonwealth law. He asked for my phone number, told him I didn't want to give it to him so he said "f*ck you buddy" and hung up. Really classy people these. Obviously a scam so best not to call to give them a serve unless your number is private.

Michael Anderson - Claiming to be from Australian Taxation Office. Threatened elderly lady to pay $8700 or they will issue an arrest warrant and then would cost her $80,000. When I phoned him back asking which office he was from he hung up on me. Reported to the ATO scam line.

Recorded message from "Tax Office" informing me a warrant being issued for my arrest. Hung up before payment details given. They called again several hours later.

Recorded message from 'Michael Anderson' claiming to be with the ATO. Says there's been a legal complaint lodged against you and to call that number before a warrant is issued. Call initally comes in from a blocked number.
