Caller: Scammer pretending to be from the ATO Called at just after 8am with a number (03) 5610 6283) showing it originated in Poowong, Victoria which is a small Victorian dairy town of about 170 people. I didn’t answer it as I know that ATO does not call from numbers that are displayed and the ATO has been all over the media saying this due to all the ATO scams going on. Also the ATO does not have an office in Poowong more does any other government organisation. The message left said to call the 1300 number and quote a reference number; which I won’t be doing. Obvious scam using the ATO to frighten people

Caller: Tax Scammer Tax scammer. If in doubt call the ATO directly or speak to your accountant. Never return calls to this number. Never deal with 'entities' claiming to represent the ATO rather than the ATO directly itself.
