Received a call from 'Jodie'. She introduces herself as from the Australian Research Institute with a 'no sales' pitch asking about personal finances. Her aim is to confirm your finances and then have another person call back the following day. Their second call is to lock in an appointment to provide "relevant tax advice".

Hi Brian - There is a way you can block them - I have a Uniden home phone which allows me to block numbers now as long as it's not a private number calling - it will ring once, then recognise it as a blocked number and stop ringing

phone call beeps whilst I'm on another call. When I ring the number back it just rings out. The ATO scam has left a message on my answering machine a few days ago but I never rang back it was for a QLD based number

If I answer the call it is ended immediately. If I call the number I get a single bip as the call is ended. How many times does this number need to call me before they realise it is still going to be a business number. I have had phone calls to my number 3-4 times per week for the last 6 weeks. incredibly annoying

It is the tax concession scam spam. This is why I usually answer with just "hello" or "speak" lol, they do not get your name.

I just had the same call. I've googled Australian Institute of Research and can't find any information. I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist.

0435 802 193 - Australian Institute of Research called to see if qualify for ATO tax concessions by asking 3 questions. Who is the "Australia Institute of Research"? If I do qualify, why doesn't the ATO call me directly?
