THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!
PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAMS, THEY ARE UTTER BS AND LIES TO TRY INTIMIDATE YOU INTO TAKING YOUR MONEY AND RECIEVING YOUR BANK DETAILS. THIS IS NOT HOW THE REAL FEDERAL POLICE OR GOVERNMENT WOULD CONTACT OR GO ABOUT THIS CASE.

A number by (03) 8542 8732 called and claimed their name was Jennifer Miller (female) and their ID was 417J2741 and then claimed there was a package of heroin caught under my name, making me a prime suspect for a case followed by the federal police of australia, a number by (02) 9286 4000 then called me claiming he (male) was an officer and it was blantantly obvious that he had no professional manor like an actual officer would have. they then kept asking me for my bank details and how much money i have in my account. it was very obvious from the beginning that this was a scam to get money to pay off some fake fine. after that call i recieved multiple calls from 0433 145 529 and 0433 145 530 as well as +7(8548) 939-35-25. i never picked up as its obvious that these are follow up scams.

DO NOT GIVE A SINGLE PIECE OF INFORMATION TO THESE PEOPLE - IF YOU KEEP RECIEVING CALLS PLEASE DO BLOCK AND REPORT NUMBERS ON ONLINE FORUMS TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW THESE THINGS!

Caller: Fake scam ATO/AFP

Lady from ATO canbera Grace Wilson but with thick Indian accent 0413 534 634).
AFP 92864000 officer with same accent.
Same issues with everyone else here. Claiming i’m under investigation because someone using my TFN and few bank accounts under my name for money laundry. They said trying to help because I’m innocent and need to transfer my money to safewallet!
DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY INFORMATION AND DON’T BOTHER TO LISTEN TO THEM, THIS IS SCAM!!!

Received 2 calls today from this number which I couldn't answer. Truecaller ID says the call was from Australian Federal. I called them back and AFP was aware of these scam callers.

Definitely a scam! Someone claimed himself as Robert Watson from AFP but sounded Indian. They are really good and sounded real, but later on used what’s app to ask me to send details over, that’s an obvious scam. Please be careful guys. Always ask for their name and which station they are calling from, then hang up. Then search for Official phone number and call to check.

My elderly mum received one to these today, one call said they were the police and the second call said federal police. Both saying about drugs and money laundering and to meet them at the local shopping centre and purchase 2 gift cards for them. She rang me in a panic about this and her neighbour had called 9286.4000 back as it sounded dodgy to him luckily and hung up. I called the real police and they have directed me to this scam, people can be so mean conning people but the elderly get panicked and believe when they get calls, I have told her not to give any details to anyone

I received the same call from 3 different person as federal officer about 25 bank accounts created and 1 million dollar money laundery. DO NOT TRUST THEM. I gave them my details and I blocked everything. The name was Tamara Neskoromenko. It looks very real but it's not. Be careful about them

They called me, I get panic.then decided to go to police station near me. I told what talked about the phone conversation. Policewoman told me that is a scam,then asked me to money sent or not. I said no money transfer. She said "ignore and block calls from them. However I am a police officer, they ask me same. if you have issues about criminal, police department staff don't call you but knock your door"

Caller: 92864000

Same as everyone's comments above.
Was contacted via this number claiming to be from the Australian Federal police that my TFN was compromised with multiple fraudulent bank accounts opened under my name.
The phone number was spoofed.
DO NOT TRUST ANYONE CLAIMING TO BE FROM THE GOVERNMENT, ATO OR POLICE. If in doubt, call the official numbers again to double check, or contact your local police.
The police will NEVER arrest you over the phone, always in person at your place of residence.

IT IS A SCAM - HORRIBLE PEOPLE - Recorded message advising Federal Police contact - then officer, Tim McKenzie, Service Badge: C119716 advises you have over 15 bank accounts in your name and wants to check for criminal activity. Wants to then pass you onto Australian Federal Police to organise catching people who are using your identity. JUST HANG UP - they are very convincing but don't fall for it and please don't give any personal details. Lea
