Called twice while I was out--said he was from the taxation office and to get my lawyer to call on this number to avoid the consequences. Had an Asian accent ?Indian. must be a scam

Had these pricks call 3 days in a row left the answering machine answer pretty much same time each day thinking of calling them all hours of the day and abuse them .So much for a private number and am on Do Not Call Registery .Why cant the telcos disconnect these scammers as soon as a dodgy no is reported why do Australians have to put up with this Sh.t !!!!

This is a scam. I am a tax-agent and clients are calling this in in the lasdt few days

They called my father In-Law Yesterday twice

Have received several calls. Automated voice telling me that the ATO is after me for tax fraud and I should contact my lawyer.

I called the number back today as I knew it was a hoax, I told them I had just taken the message to my local police station who told me it was a hoax, they soon hung up. Definately a Nigerian type voice, always on the hunt for money. Grrr

I have received two calls from this person. Hard to understand message as not clear and caller has an accent but tells me if I want to avoid a lawsuit call back and avoid the consequences. Needless to say I am not calling back.

Same here. Warning us about some BS tax fraud and must call back to avoid consequences. Not very convincing. Hand the number to the Police.

Got called twice in one day, both times it was left as a message. Exactly the same guy speaking in the same tone (probably a prerecorded message) from the ATO about tax fraud and to avoid the consequences. Definitely a scam as I had one a month ago but it was a robot.

Received the same message after I let it go to the answering machine, which is my default position most of the time for "cold callers".

This number calls us at least once a day. Today they left a message saying that they are from the ATO and we need to call back asap to avoid the consequences. Dodgey as.

Say they are from the ATO and do I have my lawyer

Received several calls from this number and, surprisingly, the caller actually left a message, or rather, half a message. I thought he said something about the census so I called back - twice. Each time the number rang and then dropped out. Today I received another call and this time the message was clearer. He said "call back to avoid the consequences". Might call Telstra 'unwanted calls' instead.
