Just returned a call from a caller from this number as being from the Australian Taxation office threatening legal action. This number is a FRAUD!

Tax scam. Caller makes claims of a complaint being lodged of a an outstanding tax debt. This number needs to be investigated and the caller charged.

Message left on message bank asking me to call asap as legal action is being filed against me (or my partner, not sure which one of us) for tax evasion. Hahaha What a joke.

I got the same message today in a thick Phillipino accent. What a joke but I imagine some people might get sucked in by these turkeys.

ATO scam from a James Appleton? Pay your debt or be served with court papers and jail! ATO uses national 1800 numbers only.
