Had the same call both on my home phone and mobile phone stating tax evasion - not using my name- and to ring this number if I do not want to be arrested!

Had a message which stated 'This is a recorded message etc'. Then went on to say that they were the ATO and we had been reported for tax evasion and that registered mail had been returned from our address. As a result we may be under surveillance and our phone may be monitored. To clear ou the matter we had to call this number, or get our solicitor to call. Obviously a scam. Beware!

Thank you. What is the purpose of this message? What are they after?

Been getting these all week, 3 messages left today. It's getting a bit tiresome. Surely threatening calls like this are illegal somehow?

Have this number call me 4-5 times a day and don't leave a message. Only slightly different 4 last figures ie (02) 8880 0466 or 0465. Tried to call back and diverts to O/S ring tone and no answer, no doubt to time difference. I wonder what their angle is, and what they hope to achieve?!

Absolute scammers - threatening calls blaming tax evasions and warrants to arrest us if we don't cooperate.

Apparently my phone is being monitored, and I may have a warrant issued for my arrest.

Just received one of these calls on my silent number. Scam saying from tax office .

by Anonymous on 2016-05-18

Same here. Indian accent, told me that my account has been monitored for tax avoidance blah blah. The number they asked me to call them back is (02) 8880 0193. I have reported this to ATO (they have a dedicated department to report scam) and the guy who I spoke with said that he also got this message personally in his home phone message. So looks like it's spreading like a virus. Please becareful !!
