Answered to get a recorded message stating that there was an issue with my tax file number so I hung up.

Caller: Scammer

Hi Kim, I called this number back. The caller was too scared to answer. They SMSd me "who is this". I explained that I'm a senior officer with the ATO and that they've been traced and have committed highly fraudulent behaviour. They have admitted to "having a joke". I explained that Fraud isn't a Joke! Now the caller is acting stupid.

Caller: Scammer Scumbag

Hi Kim - I got the same call too - today 12/8/2020 - I have reported it to the ATO. The ATO never ever phone people.

Hi Kim - I just got the exact same call. Do we report this to the ATO?

Strange message left on my mobile saying legal and social proceedings will be taken out on me if I don't press 1.I Called the number back and some guy answered and said it must have been a wrong number. Very strange.
