Same as the rest. He answered with hello and then quickly said he was from the ATO. At end of call when someone in the background worked out I was suspicious (I know this cos I heard them) the phone just hung up. The line was fuzzy and I could barely make out what he was saying. You could just tell it wasn't of Aussie origin or quality!!!

Messages have been left on a friends answermachine saying they are checking on her, (from the ATO) and for her to call this number. Luckily she called me before phoning. She is going to advise the ATO on the number I gave her.

Almost certainly a scam attempt. See https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/news/telephone-calls-alleging-fake-arrest-warrants-used-to-scam-money. The calling number ID was (03) 6107 9616 but requested I call back on (08) 6193 8011.
