Yes I got a call from this number to (02) 9099 5772 do not pay anything. This has been referred on to the police and ATO

The caller left a message on my answering machine stating that I will receive a warrant for my arrest due to tax avoidance !!!!!!!! Totally DISREGARD these calls & delete them. Do not ring back on the number they leave as it is a SCAM. Also, the ATO does NOT do business in such a manner.

This number called on no caller ID twice. First time i left it to go to voicemail because i assumed it was a scan, second time i picked up to a man saying his name and company (which i didn’t understand) and hung up straight away. He then called me again but this time with no caller ID turned off and displayed this number. I didn’t pick up, so he called me again with no caller ID and left a silent voicemail. This all happened at 7pm which I believe is an inappropriate time to call someone.

ATO scam.. Simply hang up and report to Police / ATO

Automated message received numerous times from a scammer with an Indian accent "There is a lawsuit filled against you for tax evasion or tax fraud. For more details we want you or your attorney to call us back as soon as possible on (02) 9099 5770. I repeat the number again ... and award the consequences against you. Thank you.

Looks like a lot of people like me are getting this scam.
Is anyone in authority doing something about it?

I have received this message twice today and once another time a few weeks ago with a different number. (02) 6064 2036.

Somebody call my company number asking to call them back on number (02) 9099 5772, threatening with arrest if we don't replay. Not just that these guys had a number but they ask my staff or our lawyer to call them back. Here is very interesting facts 1) Person on the phone had a American accent, 2) They had a real number and 3) They what a lawyer to get involved. How convincing is this? What losers. When I called 000, a pleasant lady gave me Online Scamwatch number and my local police number. Don't reply to these calls.

Why doesn't the comms ombudsman block this number

I just received a call from this number too. It was prerecorded.

They left a message stating that I was investigated for tax avoidance and that due to several documents that they have sent me being returned to them unsigned they will issue me with a warrant for my arrest and to call their hotline (02) 9099 5772 or ask my solicitor to call them before they issue the warrant. They never stated my name or even their name. ATO would not operate in this way , and I always pay my taxes before the due date and in full. This is a scam!!!

Same as others. Recorded message about some bull regarding ATO. Wants you to call back.

Same message claiming from ATO threatening arrest

Automated message that is a scam claiming to be from the ATO don't return the call it's only a scam.

I've had a couple of calls from the supposed ATO. I asked them for their ID number and what floor they are on in Canberra and surprise, surprise they hung up on me.
Another good one is - say you're from the Australian Federal Police and watch them hang up even quicker.

Same as others, but they also mumbled something about the National No-Call Register at the beginning of the message.

Claims to be from ATO I have been audited and essentially found guilty of tax evasion and need to contact them before they come to arrest me. What a load of bull?

This is a fraudulent voice message claiming to be from the Australian Taxation Office saying that money is owed to them and imprisonment is pending. This is a scam - the ATO will not contact in this manner. Be warned do not fall for this.

Several calls (all with foreign accents) claiming to be from ATO, advising police are on the way to my place with warrants for my arrest - unless I call back. Needless to say, I am still waiting for police and they are still waiting for my call!

Recorded message about warrant for tax evasion requesting to call back on (02) 9099 5772. Its a scam to get you to pay a "fine" to make the warrant go away.
