I received a message on my phone this morning 9.28am requesting I call back the ATO on 02 8880 0417 which I just did at approximately 1.55 pm.
On returning the call, I was advised that a police officer would be sent around to arrest me immediately and when I advised that I was only not at home but in fact aware of the scam as it had been reported on TV last night. The foreign accented person on the other end stated in a panicky voice "don't ring this number again".
I am registered on the don't call register and wonder how these scammers continue to get through to private landlines and mobiles.
Hopefully these people will be arrested very soon and before anyone unaware of their antics is hurt.
Thank you TV for keep us up to date and to those people who take these issues to the media.
Just had a call to my silent number from James Appledorn stating I would be prosecuted for tax evasion! I didn't answer and he left message on answering machine!
Had same call saying they were prosecuting for tax evasion you think they would use a person that speaks better English if you are trying to scam people what an idiot.
I have been rang on my mobile and now on my landline today with this message from James Appleby claiming I will be prosecuted for tax evasion. I checked with my tax agent and was told it is indeed a scam as all enquiries or queries regarding my tax would be addressed through him. Why they managed to ring both landline and mobile is probably a fluke but who knows how and where they get our phone details. I did not follow up by returning the call so I don't know how the scam works but I'm sure it is just that - a scam.
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.
