My mother got the exact same phone call as above today. Same "Veonica Scott", same amount owing etc etc. Definitely a scam.

Called me to tell me I had $7248 in back taxes owing due to years of overpayment, took my full name and birthday and I was given this number to call. I checked the validity before calling and found it to be a scam.

Scam scam scammers! These thieves purporting to be from a Govt agency with the ficticious name "Australian Reclaims Department" managed to defraud my elderly, disabled mother out of $2,000 worth of PO cash transfers via Western Union. A woman by the name of "Veronica Scott" with a heavy Indian accent (her real name? - NOT!) is preying on vulnerable people by convincing them she is from a Govt agency and demanding money be paid to cover 'legal fees' with the promise of a hefty Govt 'refund' to be made back. Very persistent with calls and harassment to my mother, and got very heavy with demands - fortunately my mother came to her senses and called me with her fears before parting with more cash. Have reported the incident and the Sydney phone number (02) 8091 4367 to ACCC and Fed Police. Hopefully these opportunistic criminals get shut down before they rip anyone else off.
