My dad just called to say he has just received a call from Jason O'Connor claiming to be from ATO. Same story as above. Had my dad worried as he is a pensioner and not sure what to do. I tried to call number but no answer. Googled the number and found this page. Definitely a SCAM and I'll be calling ATO tomorrow.

Message left on our answering machine claim to be Jason O'Connor calling from the Australian Taxation Office concerning a tax evasion lawsuit & warning of an impending warrant for my arrest & asked that we kindly call back on (02) 6140 3490. This is a scam.

Looks like the scammers are trying Sydney, now. Same message, same Jason O'Connor. Obviously no idea that name does not match with a thick Subcontinental or MIddle Eastern accent (hard to tell on answer machine). Obviously hopes people don't understand Australia processes for notification of serious criminal matters.

Man with what sounded like an Indian or Asian accent then left a message saying he was Jason O'Connor from the ATO advising that a complaint about a tax evasion had been made and I should ring (02) 6140 3490 before the federal police knocked on my door with a warrant for my arrest and the matter goes to Commonwealth Court.

I had the exact same call today from a private number. Someone with and Indian? accent left a message that they were from the ATO regarding a tax evasion charge, and to call (02) 6140 34490 before the police arrived with a warrant for my arrest. I called a friend who is a policeman and of course it's a scam, generated through the internet. Number can't be traced.

Exactly the same as the above comments - 23rd June 2015..Came through as private number so I didn't answer. A man with what sounded like an Indian accent then left a message saying he was Jason O'Connor from the ATO advising that a complaint about a tax evasion had been made and I should ring (02) 6140 3490 before the federal police knocked on my door with a warrant for my arrest and the matter goes to Commonwealth Court. How can we stop this idiot!!

called my home number, claimed to be from ATO and that police officers coming to issue me warrant of arrest due to compilation of tax evasions. Left a number to call them as they are able to help before i submit myself to police. Firstly, i know that i pay my tax, so evasion is a lot of b..s.. Out of curiosity i called the number from a private number and he picked up and hung up immediately. Accent is either from India or Middle East.
