Not a Scam, you can call the ATO from a number on their Website and confirm if there was a call back, when they leave the 1300 466 859 number its the ATO and its real.

You're a tax agent? You're dumber than dog sh*t. The number is legit. You don't lock in a voice print as a tax agent, thats the process.

Anyone who calls (without exception) that has a 1300 number is a scammer. I have ALL incoming 13 calls blocked.

It is a legit number. Even though it was the most unprofessional phone call I have had (thought she put me on hold but didnt and I could hear them talking crap about me), I called the number to check if it is a scam and they informed me it isnt.

Just got a call today from this number talking about some ATO debt. I hung up and called them back on main number. It appears it was for real. Although I got out of the debt, then call was for real.

I just received a call from a silent number last night which went through to my voicemail. The message was to call the ATO on 1300 466 859. I googled my little black heart out, and honestly came to the conclusion that it was a scam but decided to check with the ATO in the morning. Good thing I did because it legitimately WAS the ATO. Why they don't list it on their website is anyone's guess, but if in doubt, ring them on one of their publicly listed numbers to confirm.

I rang the ATO on a different number and they give me that number 1300 466 859 to call back on . It is genuine.

it is the AT, make sure you answer and provide them with any details they ask you. you can verify their identity by looking at any letter from the ato in regards to debt or tax owing. you must be honest and punctual when come to dealing with the ato, because money collected is used to support our government services to us

It is a legitmait number, debt early intervention and is listed on the ATO website if you look properly- they ask for you to confirm your date of birth for individual / or address for an entity and the purpose for that is to confirm that the number on record DOES belong to the person they are trying to get in touch with.

LOL. Be fun listening to you explain that to the magistrate. It is genuine ATO.

What is the purpose of those calling this number a scam ? It is clearly on the ATO website . https://www.ato.gov.au/About-ATO/About-us/Contact-us/Phone-us/
Debt Early Intervention.

Its legi, and it is the ATO. Number is listed here https://www.ato.gov.au/about-ato/about-us/contact-us/phone-us/ BUT... it is prudent to NEVER give personal information out to unsolicited callers. Better to call back to the number listed on the ATO website.

The ATO itself isn't very helpful in shedding any light on this. Rang their 'fraud info line' on 1800 008 540 and asked whether the voice message I received to ring them on 1300 466 859 was legitimate. He said "probably not" as he couldn't see that number anywhere on their system. He then logged into my account and verified that the ATO had in fact called me at the exact time of said voice message, and then went on to say that 1300 466 859 was actually a legitimate number and he had "overlooked" it before. So in summary, the number seems to be fine, but hey if their dedicated fraud guy is too dopey to know if yes or no, how can anyone be sure??

This is a scam. I called the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and they confirmed that there is no such number in their organisation. These bastards are con artists trying to steal your financial information and rip you off. Jut hang up the phone and call the ATO to report them. The ATO has its real phone numbers on their official website.
