John Smith with strong accent call from ATO to say they launch legal procedures against us. Spoke with the guy about 45 minutes about World Crisis, his background, my dog, Conspiracy theory, world finances, Olympic games and etc. Made him very angry for his waste of time, however I had a great fun.

After a delay, an actual person spoke asking for previous person who owned my number saying they're from ATO. Told him he wasn't from Tax Office. He said "really?" and then told him he's a scammer. He hung up.

Received this very rude and dramatic recording message on my answering machine. I can only think it would terrify elderly people to receive such a call. This man ought to be locked up for terrorising the general public with threats about the ATO prosecuting them for fraud. I didn't call back but think the police need to know about this scam.

As this is the second time he has called, I have reported him to the ACCC...I encourage you to do so also. https://www.scamwatch.gov.au

We also have had several messages left on our home phone from this number. I suspect it is the same scammer.

Recorded voice claiming "your name" has been done for tax evasion. This is to a business number. Quite obviously not legit.

I have had 4 calls from this scammer in the past few hours. He has a heavily accented voice and claims to be from the ATO and that I or my lawyer need to call (02) 8880 0461. Private number comes up on my phone.

Same. Message claimed that this Indian male was from ATO and that there is an open case against me for tax evasion and tax avoidance. He said that it was time sensitive and that I or my lawyer should call back immediately.

Alex Cooper called from (02) 8880 0461 and tried this with me August 2015, didn't fall for it then and not falling for it now. I got a message yesterday saying that the ATO are going to take me to court for Tax Evasion or avoidance. It is the biggest scam going around. When you call the number back it isn't even answered as the ATO, just his name. I hope that he gets caught soon as I am sure there are people out there that believe this little germ.

I got a verbal "äutomated" message on 4th August. Did not reply. "ATO" scam . Message with Indian Origin Accent. sounds like the same scammer who tried the "Ïnternet Termination" scam about 6 months ago.
