WARNING SCAM ALERT I have had three calls from this number all reporting to be from the Australian Taxation office, all Indian accents, all saying that i have legal action pending against me for Tax evasion and that i need to contact this number and arrange payments before i am taken to court. I have contacted the ATO and reported this to them, Its a Scam. Person i spoke to said this was the second call today re this number and the last person was an aged pensioner. Low Life Scum.

I just had a call from the same number 03 9754 263, gave me a reference number and assked me to call the same number (02) 4407 0078, she asked me to confirm my home number and I said i prefer to use my mobile, she said please hold and hung up. Immediate after the same guy rang me back on the 03 number saying did you call the number? I said yes and said I have my home phone diverted to my mobile and don't actually have a physical home phone.
He said ok now listen you can call the number back and speak to Angelina Cooper (she originally answered the phone) I rang the number back and it was constantly engaged, then it rang and they picked up the phone and hung it up. I think they were onto me that I was playing a game with them, I acted very eager when he told me I had $7,562 coming my way and they must have thought they had a real sucker on the phone. I'm going to call them back a few more times with different names and numbers to give them some grief dirty so and so's!!!

Received a call from mobile number 0427 542 636 where a woman with a Filipino accent said she was from the Federal Government. She said that I was owed some $7000 in overcharged bank fees. I strung her along and gave her false details and said that I would like to be paid by cheque. She then said I would have to call her supervisors, Mrs Maria Edwards or Mrs Angelina Cooper on (02) 4407 0078. Needless to say I didn't bother to call as it was such an obvious scam.

I got a call from a random number in vic (03) 9754263 (sorry missed a number when they called) and they said I had $7000 of money to be refunded back to me and asked for my bankdetails and knew my address&name. They said this was not a scam and told me to call (02) 4407 0078. When I called the number, the man said 'Thanks for calling the reclaim department how can I help you?', when I asked if this was an ATO department, they hung up. I believe this is a scam, too good to be true.
