A very threatening call from this number, regarding supposed tax fraud

This person with a female Phillipino accent said that ATO had raised a law suit against me and if I didn't respond to the call they would forward details to the police who would freeze my assets. I'm referring the call to the police.

This is supposed to be the ATO warning of prosecution if we don't call back. I rang back to see what was going on to find myself speaking to Officer Sean/Shorn. Be careful.

Same as above. Accented female voice, sounded Indian, VERY aggressive tone, re 'ATO tax fraud, you will be arrested, your assets will be seized, I will send the police, blah blah, ring this number (02) 8880 0212. '.

I have a silent number and am also on the do no call register and received 2 calls in 1 day from these people I was not home on either occassion so they left me a message both times. Knew something wasn't right straight away. I have contacted the police, the telecommunications ombudsman, scamwatch and my telco provider to report and to get action. Don't ring it back just right down the information and do the same as me. Don't get sucked in by all means ring the ATO if you want piece of mind.

Sounded like it was pre-recorded, foreign accent, Jason O'Connor from the ATO saying the police will be round and assets will be seized if I don't call them back etc etc... dreadful if you are elderly and receive calls like this!
