Automated call stating they are the ATO & starting legal proceedings & will put a lean on your assets & bank accounts within 24hours. They will send a collection officer to complete the paperwork. Reported it to ATO & scam watch - ATO do not have automated messages sent to people !!

Had James and a Bruce Parker from this number wanting access to my operating system on my computer, said they were from Telstra technical support and wanted to check my router as a lot of malware files were coming through the internet to my computer, what a lot of garbage.

Ron Watson left a voice mail message for me yesterday 6/01/16 quoting 8103 2017. The message was similar to those already reported. I am looking forward to hearing from Ron again. I may be able to get enough info to be useful to ACMA

I have had 3 calls from this number to my answer machine today. There was an automated message in an American accent saying it was Ron Watson from the ATO and to contact him urgently on (02) 6145 2686 or risk being arrested and have officials from the ATO attend my home address. I look forward to "Ron' calling again...

Just came home to have three messages on my phone from Ron Watson claiming to be from the ATO with threats to have assets seized because of tax fraud Have had this generated message three more times in the last month Using a different ph number Sydney (02) 6145 2686. Thanks to previous comments wont be returning the call

Yes, I am not answering when (02) 8310 5391 calls my mobile.

Received several calls from Ron and kenneth matthewsat glen innes NSW ,same as above told me I had a tax debt and would be arrestedand asked for my tax file number ,told him where to go and reported it to police

Ron Watson must be a busy person. He left a message on our answering machine mentioning that he is from ATO in Melbourne and to call him back to avoild legal action. The number given was 61079618.
It was suspitious from the beginning but on calling back we got an answering machine or the recording that the call can not be completed.

These idiots called our house with the same automated message. Apparently someone will show up at our door to fill in the 'paperwork'. Absolute retards.

We had a message from a similar number (02) 8310 3530 saying that we have some kind of mark against our name for tax fraud or something (difficult to understand as the man had an accent). He said we must contact them straight away to avoid going to court or to have some kind of action against us. They don't even say who the call is for - but the man says his name is Ron Watson.

ATO SCAM!

This morning I received a call from a guy named Tony Foster. At first it sounded like a telemarketer, then he claimed to be from the ATO. He called asking for my father to get into contact with him in regrades to taxation fraud. I told him that he wasn't home and if I could take a message. He left the number (02) 8310 5352. I googled the number and it came up as a scam. (the above comment) So I rang the official ATO number and gave them all the details and they confirmed that this is a scam which they and the AFP are aware of. They are targeting older people (my father is 65) saying that they owe the ATO money or risk having assets taken. Share the word and look out for your olds! If they call you, report it to the ATO.

Pretending to be the Australian Taxation Office. They threaten they are going to come and take your assets unless you pay straight away. They require you to put money in an Australian Post Office "loan and Go Card' and will call back the following day. Tell them where to go and report this to the Australian Taxation Office.
