Caller: ATO As a tax agent you should know that it is ATO number. Usually they will call peaople who do have a payment plan and missed few payments. They don't ask your DOB or bank details, just enough information to confirm your identity.

Caller: Not the real ATO but they leave the real ATOs number SCAM!! This number does belong to the ATO but the person calling you from a private number and leaving this number on your voicemail doesn't work for the ATO. I called this number after I had a message on my voicemail and the guy from the ATO said they haven't called me. He even said it seems like a dodgy call.
Call it if you like, and they'll tell you if they really called you or not and if they didn't, when the guy calls you back in a couple of days just hang up on him

Caller: Australian Tax Office Early Intervention This is a legitimate call from the ATO, even thought it shows as No Caller Id and the voicemail was left by a person with an Indian accent. You can verify the number on the ATO website - and call them back.This is NOT an scam.

Caller: 1300 466 859 I don't know the number of the caller, but 1300 466 859 was the number they gave me to call them back, claiming to be the ATO. I got on the ATO portal, rang the number there and they confirmed ... it's legit. It's regarding debt collections, so make sure you call back OR, like I did, confirm the number for yourself and then call back. They'll transfer you to whatever department called you in the first place.

Caller: ATO This is a legitimate number – it is from the "Debt Early Intervention" arm of the Australian Taxation Office: https://www.ato.gov.au/About-ATO/Contact-us/Phone-us/ I really don't know why so many people are claiming that it is a scam. If you've received a call from this number, you should really return the call.

Caller: ATO Hi All - all comments above confused me. I spent a few hours on phone to accountant and book keeper. This is a real number. https://www.ato.gov.au/About-ATO/Contact-us/Phone-us/ Listed in above link. Usually they call if you have forgotten to pay your BAS statement. ATO will send a letter first to the register postal address then call you if payment still not made. Call the number on the ATO website above under the "Early Debt Intervention" section. If in doubt call you accountant to check first (which is what I did).

Caller: ATO allegedly Definitely a SCAM. Whatever the imposters on here say about it being real the ATO would never cold call you without sending written letters first. In fact, they would not call pretty much at all - unless to return your call. I was called about my Mothers tax debt ! She doesnt have one and why would they call me about her account - privacy issues etc etc Dont give these people any oxygen

Caller: Crystal Santiago at the ATO Early Intervention Dept (allegedly) Felt scammy and so I googled the number (which was legit and published on the ATO website) and then called the ATO scam line 1800 008 540) to check whether this is a scam going about and the guy on the end of the scam line phone was so useless that I'm still none the wiser.

This Tax agent uses the number provided to agents. For the ATO to collect the voice print of a registered tax agent on an individuals account would be stupid. Different verification steps are used dependent on who you are. Be smart, use the link... https://www.ato.gov.au/About-ATO/About-us/Contact-us/Phone-us/

That call suggesting you'll be arrested IS a scam. Calls asking you to ring 1300 466 859 are legitimate calls from the ATO. The number is on their website.

Caller: ATO Got a phone call private number outside of business hours, operator only asked postal address but nothing else, been told there was a outstanding debt to ATO. Was not sure about it but confirmed with ATO the next day, apparently there was a unpaid debt, so this is NOT a Scam.
