Our elderly grandmaster was petrified to receive a call from the enigmatic "Officer" Peter William. Total scam!

No name left but a call from the ATO advising there was a warrant for my arrest due to tax fraud. Double checked with the ATO if there are issues with you tax they send it in writing.

10.28 am today Peter Williams from ATO left a message. Same as other comments - arrest warrant for fraudulent or no filing of tax. What a load of rubbish! Am about to contact ATO and report this scam! What do they expect to achieve but this stupid scam? Wonders never cease!

Got a call from "Peter William" from ATO as said in above messages. Clearly a scam. We have free calls included in our plans so partner and I going to start calling several times a day to try sell him Viagra, tell him about a deceased overseas aunt's secret millions etc etc. Just for fun.

Got the same "Officer Peter William" of the ATO. He sounds more like a South African to my ears. I dialled the number but there is nothing, just dead air.

I had a message from the same people and I called them back, asked for the guy's name which is Max Payne. He said he's an officer with the audit department with the ATO and I said I'd report his fraudulent activity.

They tried the same scam on me. I knew it was a scam because they didn't use my name and my number is silent. And my tax return for this year has not been lodged yet.

I had this so called person leave a message on my home phone, saying to the like, but I didn't get to check this first and find out this information, was in such shock rang back. I then got a so called "Richard Johnson" who was the senior. Got quite rude when I asked to speak to his supervisor and said I am a criminal and I would be arrested

I got the same call today. All the details everyone listed above were the same for me. Didn't bother calling the number; just wrote it down and googled it and this page confirmed what I already knew.

Sorry my last post quoted and incorrect number it was (02) 6152 8650 too... PS I suggest telling the person on the other end that you have a substantive sum of money in Nigeria and you will need at least $2,500.00 dollars to smuggle the money out in order to pay them.

Received a call from Peter Williams from ATO, as comments below threatened that I had an arrest warrant pending due to tax avoidance or non lodgment. Message suggested I ring back (03) 6152 8650 and they would be happy to help. Yep sure, "to fleece me of my hard earned money"!!!!.. A definite scam people

Definate scam, indian accent named Paul Williams. Sounds very official. Gave me his tax officer no. and case no. Talked for 30min because I kept asking questions. Threatened court and jail. Knew it was a scam when he asked for $8000 in 45min. Very upsetting experience. He was abusive and said police will arrive in 45min when I refused to pay.

I got the phone call this morning when I was out. He left a message that I couldn't hear very well but thought it was a scam and found this useful site. Who runs it?

Scam message was left on my answering machine. Officer Peter William (Irish accent) from the Australian Tax Office says that there is a possible arrest warrant out for an account of fraudulent or a no tax filing. He asks me to ring (02) 6152 8650 to sort this matter out, before it goes to court. Please do not ring this number back with your details, it's a scam!
