Claimed to be the FBI and there is a warrant for my arrest so I should call the tax dept. on (02) 8006 1429. Cracked me up.

ATO scam. They left a message on my answer service with the above number. I called the number and heard it being redirected to an Indian call centre. When the gentleman answered I gave him a blast on my brass Hunting Bugle. He'd gone by the time I'd finished the serenade...so rude.

Taxation Department threatening to issue warrant for arrest

Recorded Voice Anouncement.
Claims to be Australian Tax Office with warrant for arrest.
Asks you to ring (02) 8006 1429

ATO SCAM!!!
I received a voicemail from a man stating that there is a legal case against my name and a warrant for my arrest. He gave a six digit reference number and told me to ring before the case is sent for execution. I was told not to disregard the message, but it is obviously a scam.
This would be extremely worrying for a lot of people, but they need to ignore it!!

very threatening and rude voice message can not be from ATO for sure.

I receive a call saying I am arrested and got a legal action from the ATO. Asked me to call (02) 8006 1429 and do not disregard the message.

Claimed to be AFP and said I was under investigation by the ATO and a warrant is out for my arrest if I do not contact ATO immediately. Gave number of (02) 8006 1429 to ring back. Definitely a scam call.

Fake call from a recording of a person with an Indian accent saying I had a warrant for my arrest for outstanding Taxes. Scammers !!

Automated message from the Australian Taxation Office wanting us to ring a number urgently.

Scam recorded message in a British accent claiming to be the Taxation Depatrment, threatening a warrant for arrest. Gave my elderly Mum a fright.

Left a voice message on my Elderly mothers phone saying he was an investigation officer from the tax office & there was a warrant out for her arrest, luckily shes not senile & knew it was a scam haha. I rang the number back & it was a man with an Indian accent, he hung up on me once I had a go at him.

ato scam

Said I was under investigation by the ATO and a warrant is out for my arrest if I do not contact ATO immediately I am shaking - I am a Senior Citizen who has been very ill - do not need this drama and nightmare - very scared. I tried phoning the number given - no connection. Slounded very legal an very threatening.

ato automatic voice recording, gave number (02) 8006 1429, thought it was scam, rang ATO for scams at 2.20pm 30 Oct to report and check rather than ringing, waited 8 minutes, wanted all my details which according to their voice recognition they should have had. Wasn't interested said I would have to fill out forms, while getting a non positive response, listed the number in Google and came up with the 28 other comments below. Recommended to ATO officer they should look up Google and follow up - the woman wasn't interested!

SCAM!!! My poor mother was so scared! I called back and they just keep hanging up when I ask for further details - bloody idiots!!

Claimed to be from the Australian Federal Police on behalf of the Australian Tax Office. SCAM.
