I got a phone call this morning about 10am (26/11/2018) from this number:
061280068549 which an automated voice was speaking stating that they are calling from the Australian Taxation Office. I apparently owed the ATO some amount of money and since they could not get in touch with me they have resorted to filing a legal suit against me and my family. And the ATO has also teamed up with a anti fraudulent team to investigate myself and my family.
I called the number back the number and a male answered the phone. He had a strong accent which sounded like someone who speaks Hindi (apologies if you find this offensive). He asked me (sounded very unprofessional) about my name and other details. And mentioned that the police will call me as soon as he hangs up the phone if I don’t pay him the money. (Dead give away). So I tested him and said can we make a payment arrangement, he said no! U have to pay $2000 today. I said well I cannot pay that amount, he puts it down to $1000, and I persisted with going on a payment plan and he’s reply is the same saying no it doesn't work like that! You have to pay $2000 today, but ill give you this one time to pay $1000 instead only if you agree to pay today. I said ok no worries.
I rang the ATO, and asked if anyone from their department called me this morning. They said no one called, and I also don’t owe them money.
This number 8006 8549 is a scam. Automated voice telling everyone the same message that there will be a lawsuit started against them and that they have been trying to contact the family. Block this caller.
This experience made me laugh. I had a missed call from this number 02 8006 8549 on my mobile and when I returned the call from my work phone they hung up on me when I introduced myself.
I called back a second time and an Indian sounding gentlemen answered the phone proudly with, "Investigations Department of the Australian Tax Office". He hung up on me when I told him he was awesome!!! lol.
Just now got call this number, I did not pick then gave a call back after few minutes. No one picked up. Then I checked online. Seems this is a fraud number. Be careful.
I repeat all the previous comments. Mine didn't mention ATO or tax. I got a robot threatening me for fraud and legal action would be started against me and to call the number.
Totally a scam. Claim to be from the ATO and make up badge numbers, Legislative references, etc. Will hang up on you if you keep them going for long enough.
This is a scam. An automated voice says they are from the ATO and have been trying to contact me and my family for tax fraud. They say that as they haven't been successful there is a law suit against me and I need to ring a number starting with 2... I hung up then.

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.
