Message left on landline to call (02) 6152 8693 person of male voice with a sub continent accent claiming he was an officer and advising that legal accent was pending and that I needed to call the above number as it was urgent as a warrant was already issued. I guess it was a scam call. Will just have to wait for the consequences. lol

Scam claiming to be from the ato

Woman called from (02) 6152 8693. Sub-continent accent. Addressed me by my first name; said she is from ATO and I would be arrested in 45 minutes. I was relaxed in my responses. She terminated the call, possibly knowing the terror tactic wasn't working. I've noticed missed calls from this number on both mobile and landline recently.

I have had two calls on landline which went to message bank and this officer mark brown making threats. I ignored and today go call on work mobile. There is no real link between my home phone and my work mobile so they have some kind of information gathering ability. Accent was US or similar. Will be making complaint Monday.

Had this threatening phone call from (02) 6152 8693 mark brown, he said if I don't call him back 'threat threat threat' this is one of the worst calls, I hope the phone company as it's a Sydney number block replies. It's a SCAM

I contacted police, but nothing they can do. It isn't fraud unless they obtain something. I called the number blocking my phone numberjust out iof curiosity...he was somehow able to tell me my name still. I lied to him about my circumstances just to see what he wanted. When I started asking the questions he got aggressive and told me he didn't need to prove himself to me and disengaged the call. Apparently complaint needs to be made to phone company-problem is scammers will just set up the same scam on a new number

Mark Brown, same idiot. (02) 6152 8693. Legal case, threats, lies, crap about legal warrents.
On ya.

Same guy Officer Mark Brown left an urgent message. Didn't say who he was after and that legal action will be taken. I work at a solicitors and know there will be a paper trail and letters before a warrant is issued. Pull the other one Mark Brown!!!!!

~~GRIN~~ Just had first one of these, sub-continent male voice, with the *This is the ATO, Please listen carefully to this message...!* Because I let all calls go to answering machine to stave off scammers, they usually hang up regardless if electronic or person calling... However, no, this one continued... I could have had some fun & answered, but just switched phone off at wall, maybe I should have let his full message record... Surely to god that if we have their number why haven't authorities nabbed them...

Got same message today from same guy, sounded dodgy. Ignored it, will see what happens.....

Received the same message from Mark Brown. I laughed but some poor people would not. Where do people get off. Idiots.

Yup, Senior Officer Mark Brown from the ATO not wanting to leave personal information on my voicemail. Urgently needing my attention before a warrent was to be issued!!! Thankfully i'm not the only one that googled the number! So thanks guys for posting, saved me a sleepless night!!

SAME as the rest legal taken and i will be solely responsible does not want to take action as he knows I am good investor why are the police not doing something about this

This prick rang me today and scared the crap out of me with this message. I google his number and found out is was a scam! I rang him back and let him have it! Bastard!

Sub Continent voice claimin to be an investagating office from ATO and that I needed to immediatly get paper and take down details. Became very verbally agressive when refused his directions. Resultant basic anglo saxion gutter language and called terminated.

supposedly from the ATO - have had it a couple of time, even leaves messages

Just had a message left today, picked up is was suss, no one would call from the ATO like that, just ignore it.....

Scam artist claiming to be from the ATO. Threatening action and a warrant but clearly a scam. Number reported to VicPolice.

This is an international scam claiming they're from the ATO in Sydney. They ask for your tax file number, which i didn't give out, I replied asking for their address and they hung up.

we had exactly the same thing on the 1st October! Sounded very sus.
