Scam Australian Taxation Office. If you ring them back play along ask them what the weather is like in Nagaland. Or tell them you didn't know they had a Nagaland office. This is where they are based. They usually get angry at this point for some wired reason... hahahaha. If you have some spare time call them back and string them along for as long as you can. If they are busy with you its one less person being scammed. One small step but effective, the numbers usually die within a day or 2 if the continue to get harassed back.
Seriously warn people you know who may be vulnerable. The ATO run no such phone calls.

Same scenario here but the number was (02) 6172 0109. Claimed they send me letters that couldn't be delivered and that I need to ring them back or they would order my arrest. Be careful guys.

Received automated message from (02) 6172 0749 claiming to be the Australian Tax Office urging my husband call ASAP/not to ignore this message. Knew this to be a scam; ATO does not contact us direct but through our accountant. Adding this number to our blocked phone call list.

yes I too have received this call form the (02) 6172 0749 number, claiming to be the ATO telling me I was avoiding paying the tax and that the ATO wanted to speak with me urgently. Like most of them I ignored it :( Time wasters that's all...

A recorded message telling me the A.T.O. was investigating me and phone this number (02) 6172 0749) immediately. Last week I had a call (private number shown on phone) that went further and said that if I didn't phone back then the police would be knocking on my door. I do not understand why the owners of these phone numbers are not taken to court and charged with intimidation and extortion.
