Posted on June 24, 2015 Caller type: Scam Location: Australia
A caller whose name I could not understand left a message for me to phone him. When I asked for his name, he claimed to have the name "Austin Makel" and that he was an "investigator" or "government agent" from the Australian Tax Office HQ in Canberra. He further claimed that: (1) a "document" had been sent a month ago; (2) no response had been received in the past month; (3) a warrant had been issued against me; (4) he would forward a "Warrant (ID NSW/19/28/98)" and the "case file" the the local police department, and (5) the local police would come to my door and arrest me.
He couldn't say what for, and when I suggested it sounded like a scam, he hung up.
