Caller: ATO Scam

Scam call from someone pretending to be from the Australian Taxation Office. DO NOT give them ANY personal information. Even if they ask you to "confirm" something. The ATO will always only try to ring once, and from a 1800 number. A sure fire way to tell if it's legit if you're unsure is to ask for a reference number and call the number on the ATO's website. The actual ATO will also be able to lodge a scam incident too if you want.

Recorded message threatening about a Tax issue that would result in prosecution if the number wasn’t called back. 🤣

Caller: “Jacob Brown”

This is a fraudulent caller posing as an officer from Australian Taxation Office.

The call will likely claim a “warrant” for your arrest on the basis of “taxation fraud” or equivalent.

Make sure you report calls like this to the ATO so they can continue to monitor the pattern and behaviour of scammers.
