Pretending to be from the ATO.

a warrant for my arrest ! ATO scam

Automated voice advising of a warrant for my arrest - ATO

I received a voice message from this number. definitely an ATO Scam!

I rang once and got disconnected

The synthetic voice in the message says I will be prosecuted. Last week it said the ATO had blocked my account and my family and I were going to be criminally charged for fraudulent tax return... I do my tax return through an accountant so I called them, they checked with the ATO and there was no such thing.

ATO- Australian Taxation Office

Left a message regarding warrant for arrest. Asked to return call (02) 8091 4689

Another scam call to say they are informing me that there is a warrant for my arrest for unpaid tax bill. Number to call back is slightly different (02) 8091 4689
