Automated message to my mobile phone advised me to call back for "Constable John Smith" and provided me the number (02) 6172 1219 to call back.
Proceeded to call back number and got on the phone with a man of Indian descent advising me a random employee number and that his name was "John Wright" from the ATO and I better have a defence lawyer ready because fraud charges have been laid against me and there was a warrant for my arrest. Told me that Police were coming to my house, when advised I wasn't home, told me Police were coming to my work, said I wasn't there, told me not to worry because they can track my call and come get me right now and that I would be going to jail in a few hours.
Went to the police station and reported.
