First phone call from a young Asian girl purporting to be calling from Sydney informing me that I have been overcharged by banks to the tune of $6,325 dollars. I am asked to confirm my birthdate and home address. I gave incorrect particulars and she did not bat an eyelid. She then requests that I ring her manager on (02) 6152 8643 by the end of the day to get the money. I call him and he claims to be from the Finance Department. As he is reading from a script he starts yawning. Good grief! Then comes the kicker; in order to get the money I need to pay a small lawyers fee. I say no,no,no,no and he asks why. I state that I don't believe him as he was reading and yawning and am happy to forgo the payment. He hangs up. I was not fooled, just wanted to know their full act and be able to report it online so others don't waste their precious time.

Same message as this but to call (02) 6152 8639. Looks like they cycle the number regularly as this same scam appears on lots of numbers across the (02) 6152 86XX range.

Rude person called me saying I was wanted by the police for tax fraud. Obviously a lie, but she had all my info like my home address etc. Very disturbing.

How do we know if you work for the ATO, you could be a scam-artist too.

Just got a call from from (02) 6152 8634 and I answered because I have a friend there now. It was a recorded message though, but similar same message as many of you noted: ATO officer, tax return issue, must call immediately.

DODGY!

BIG ATO SCAM - was told i owe the Australian government 4000 and if i didn't pay up id go to jail. i told him i thought it was a scam and he said he understands why i thought that as many tax scams going around so he even encouraged me to check with police, little did he know i was 1min away from the police station. I put the cop on the phone and the guy started talking dirty sexual things! Creepy thing is he had my address and full name and claimed someone would be there in the morning

Just had a missed call and voicemail from this number. Claimed to be "Officer Matthew Clarke" and there was an ATO legal suit, and I need to call his "hotline" back, and "take care". What a farce! I just deleted it.

I had a message left on my phone from someone called stephen white to call the ATO Warned not to avoid the call. Because it was a canberra number I rang (stupidly). They were actually quite convincing and aggressive. They told me an audit of my 2014/15 I had underpaid my taxes by 4,788.35. They told me that I would need to get a Lawyer. When I said I have not defrauded the government, he started to yell at me. He wanted me to pay $1,000 immediately to stop it going to court. He wanted me to go to Woolworths and buy this in Apple iTunes Cards as the ATO has a partnership with them. Tomorrow at 2:00 he was sending someone to my house to pick up the cards and show me the evidence where I had defrauded the ATO. Seriously this is sick. He wanted to wait on the line while I walked to Woolworths 1.5 Kilometres away. Really awful people out there preying.

Missed the call on my mobile. Rang from the landline (un listed number) and get the recorded message wanting me to leave details or press the pound key. Sounds like a Scammers number
