I too got.a.call.today .. the guys speaking seemed.unprofessional.if it was tha ato wouldn't the officers be Australian?.. and why only western union?.. did anyone get the money?

I work for the ATO and can confidently say this is a scam. These types of scams are particularly common at this time of year. If you ever receive a call (or email/letter) from someone who claims to be from the ATO but you aren't sure about it, call the ATO first.

The number to call for individuals is 132861, which you can check on the ATO website ;)

my mate got a call from same number the pattern is exactly same as described in the above posts
thank god i googled to this page and asked him not to give any info to those frauds.
