I received a call on my answering machine yesterday and another call today at 6.50am.
I just hung up as I knew it was a scam.
Wouldn't it be great if the appropriate authorities (taxation department or police?) visited this gent and sorted him out. The Do Not Call Register is just a joke as I am receiving marketing calls almost daily.
I got a message left on my answering machine telling me to call back this number & saying I'd get arrested if I didn't. I live in Victoria & I just had my new passport delivered to me from New South Wales the day before I received the message, not sure if that has anything to do on how he got my number or not. Would be awful if this guy has access to Government Files.
I called back and got Michael Smith. Played along with it for a while until he hung up. Called back and got a diifferent Michael Smith who also hung up. Third time, I requested Michael Smith and I got a mouth full of abuse. F*&^ing, C*%t and that he was calling from my Mothers P%$#y.
Very aggressive guy, calling himself Michael Smith, gave ID etc. Very upsetting and quite frightening, it did take me a while to realise it was probably a scam. I was going to ring him back to tell him what I thought of him but decided against it. Can somebody report him to whover maybe able to stop him doing this to other people, who he might get money from.
Yes, got the same call from Michael Smith from the ATO claiming to collect fraud debt. A complete 'shitester and wanker' if every I heard one! Ignore this fake foreigner and hang up on him ASAP.
A man by the name of Michael Smith called, and it was an electronic, automated message. Telling me our business had a pending lawsuit and to call the number (02) 6140 3409 as a matter of urgency. Knowing this is not how lawsuits or the ATO work, I googled the number to discover other people have been tricked by it. Whatever that fraud is, I do not know. However, is obviously a fraud and I know others affected by it.
I got a call just as described, today. I knew it was a scam. I'm a commercial lawyer and I know law suits don't roll that way! I called to ask where their office is. He said none of my business. Interesting litigation tactic I pointed out. He then asked if I had big boobs and worse. I told him what I thought and hung up. Pathetic.
Just got one myself, rang the number to see if they would answer. Told him he was scum for trying to rip off innocent people and he just kept saying I love you too. He answers the call with the words: Australian Taxation Officer.
We just had the call as well. Exactly the same wording as the others have said on here. They might be after your Taxation File Number. Be careful. We have done nothing wrong so straight away knew was a scam.
Yep. Received electronic-sounding voice message on my answer phone today (19 May) stating "...representing the CDPP Commonwealth (blurred) of Public prosecutions. There is a lawsuit filed on your name by the ATO concerning a financial tax fraud case against you. So I want you call to call us back immediately on 02 61403409 (repeats number). This is an urgent legal matter which needs your attention.".
Figured it was dodgy, then checked internet which seems to confirm it. I had started to think the ATO has caught up with me for claiming that extra pen or two on my tax return. ;).
Phoned and left a message on my answering machine. Said the same as other people have said, I rang the number out of curiosity didn't say who I was, just said that somebody had tried to contact me, and was told that at 1.30pm their office was about to shut for the day and to please ring back in the morning. Then knew it was a scam.
I had an electronic-sounding voice message on my answer phone today (14 May) stating "...representing the CDPP Commonwealth (blurred) of Public prosecutions. There is a lawsuit filed on your name by the ATO concerning a financial tax fault state against you. So I want you call to call us back immediately on 02 61403409 (repeats number). This is an urgent legal matter which needs your attention." Thanks for putting out the warnings on this number! Looks like they've realised their accent sounds dodgy and are using something to mask it.
Voicemail left on my home phone today (14 May 2015). Person claimed to be from Commonwealth Department of Prosecutions saying that the ATO has a law suit pending against me, and that I must urgently call 02 6140 3409. Judging by what was said, how he said it, the precise words that he used and his accent, I guess that this is a spam call and a scammer.
Telephone scammers try to steal your money or personal information. Scams may come through phone calls from real people, robocalls, or text messages.
Call or message may be a scam if:
You're asked for personal information or money;
Text messages tell you to urgently click a link or call a number;
The call or text pretends to be from someone you trust like your phone company or bank;
You're being threatened or made to feel scared;
The caller wants to access and control your computer.
To protect yourself:
Don't answer if you don't know who it is. Let the call go to voicemail.
If a caller leaves a message claiming to be from known organisation, cross check the number the call came from against the organisation's official website.
Never share any personal information about yourself or your bank details.
Don't click on any links. Never let a stranger take control of your computer.
Do not send any money.
Block calls on your mobile phone. Your phone company can tell you how to block calls to your home phone.
