Caller: ATO scam Voicemail stating there has been a lawsuit filed against me and that I should call some number and quote something or other or I would be arrested immediately. I called the number back and the same person who sent the voicemail answered the phone claiming to be the ATO. I said I had a missed call and he asked if it was a voicemail and suggested I listen to the voicemail again and ring back. No verification of TFN or anything. Definitely a scam!

Same thing. Suggested an arrest. Can someone close this number or at least trace it. We don’t need this during Covid. I would like to use harsher words to describe these people.

i got a call from this number and called the ATO straight away to see if it was legit and if i was actually going to be arrested. The ATO advised its a scam and they never have automated voice messages threatening people that they will be arrested.

When i queried the inproper comms from ADF like i know how they talk and all over the phone he hung up giving up.

Caller: Supposedly ATO The voice sounded mechanical (autobot) and prerecorded. I immediately cancelled the call and put the number on my blacklist.
