This was an ATO arrest warrant scam call. I didn't answer the call but the robot caller left a voice message claiming there were arrest warrant papers that could be released. It is vitally important that people understand the only way these calls can be prevented is by not answering calls from numbers you don't know. I know some people rely on older technology which can't screen calls, but for those with mobile phones and the ability to store numbers of people and companies you know, there is no excuse to answer calls from people/numbers you don't know. If it is important they will leave a message. I stress again, the business model of scammers and time wasters completely relies on people answering calls every time. Don't do it and gradually the scammers will be out of business.

Left an automated voice message telling me to press 1, otherwise the ATO would issue a warrant for my arrest on tax avoidance. Do not answer!
