A voicemail message at 1.50 on 14th December from this number, informed me "they" had received taxation ??complaints (my notes not clear here) and the reference was "Texas 47263" or some such number. "As there is a legal case .....sent for execution" I should call (02) 8005 1863, "DO NOT IGNORE", he finished off. I laughed outright the first time I heard it, and again when transcribing the message today! Why TEXAS in their reference - this is Australia, right? Why didn't they ask for me by name, instead of leaving a message that others could access? I think I have read somewhere that the ATO does not make calls like this. (p.s. I am posting the same message on a number of these sites. p.p.s. I am a senior but I ain't stupid.)

Allegedly Australian Federal Police on behalf of Tax Office. I don't think so!

Call from (02) 8005 1863 purporting to be from Australian Tax Office advising Federal Police may arrest me if I do not respond to the call.
