Yep same thing, Claimed to be frm AGO "G" not "T" so was suspicious. Plus said was final warning and unlikely that a phone call would be the final warning as it is not traceable.
I came home and found a computer generated message on my answering machine asking to call back this number if I didn't want to get arrested. ATO would apparently have lodged a law suit against me. Definitely a scam.
I've got the automated message from this number that said its from ATO and asked me to call that number back.
When I called they said I have some debt to ATO and I have to pay 2.6K to them. I checked it with ATO office and they confirmed that its absolutely a scam. I hope police find them and prosecute them.
This looks like a scam. I got a call on my work number from a computer generated voice saying that it was the Tax Office and that this was a final notice that they were taking legal action and to call 261 528 689 if I wanted to avoid it.
Thinking it might be 02 6152 8689, I called, got someone claiming to be from the tax office, but when I asked for what it was about, he just said "have you paid all your tax". I tried to find out what entity the call related to (like I said, he called on my work number), he put me on hold, then came back and said it was a miscommunication and that I could ignore it.
Having now read all the other comments, I'm confident this is a scam, because they knew absolutely nothing about the call, and went to water when I starting pushing for more information.
Received this call on a landline saying the ATO has filed a lawsuit against me for tax fraud. It was an automated computer female voice. Not even a real person. She then told me to call 261 528 688. GET OUT!
I got a call yesterday from this number too. Same story. The lady said she was calling from the ATO. Apparently had a complaint about tax fraud for $40.000. I don't even have a job lol.
Interesting! Also just got a call from +261 528689.
I am cautious when answering international and unrecognised numbers, so just said "Hello". Lady had poor English, and she attempted conversation along the lines of "Is this Smith?" - at which point I hung up.
Most likely overseas (based on call quality), and probably a call centre of some sort (based on background noise).
The number is not 02 6152 8689 but +261 528 689 and it is a Madagascar number!! They just exploit the fact it looks like Australian NSW number. They claimed to be from ATO.
I received a call from this number and the guy said he is from ATO. ATO filled a fraud case against me and I will get arrested in 20 minutes if I hang up this call. He demanded me that I need to pay him 4.5K over the phone to sort this matter out. So far I know all my taxation matters are up to date with ATO. Go away scammars.
Same as above. Just had a recorded message from this phone number to say they are filing a law suit against me. No idea who they are and I'm a law abiding citizen so should be in trouble for anything. Tried calling back but there is no answer.
I got a call from this number regarding ATO.. Says I should call them back on this number before they sent arrest warrant wtf? I don't have any issues regarding tax.. Please suggest me is this number scam or not.

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.

Faver
I got a call from this number and it was the same that I was being sued. The person on the phone sounded perhaps Thai or Filipino.
Not sure why the ATO wants to sue me however when I called the number back and questioned the lady she was just after my personal details.
I assume they are calling people and trying to get peoples personal details and tax file number etc by threatening legal action.
Definitely a scam.
Biagi
Same. Supposed law suit ... Lol.
Nutters. As if!!!! Stop spamming people.
