REcieved same voice mail - going to police and reporting this number- threatening and intimidating behaviour via a carriage!
Just rang these clowns back and they kept hanging up on me... When I asked the person his name (obviously indian) he said michael brown. ..when I said I was going to call the ombudsman and the police s.o.b.hung up again. ..twice he answered with just a tentative hello and 3 times with ato and twice with australian taxation office... BE AWARE...DO NOT GIVE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION!!! SCAM !!!!
I just received the same.... Rang on my mobile saying there was a warrant out for my arrest - his name is James Anderson.
Yep "James Anderson" on the hunt again. Recorded call said I have tax outstanding & to call back on the number before a warren was issued for my arrest. Come arrest me I say, my tax is up to date lol. Block this number or don't answer.
I got a call from james ato office said I hv done fraud... He asked me to call back as well.. I have no idea what is all about...
I have got phone call from james said he is calling from taxation office, I dnt knw what he was blaming me. Its all out of my mind. He asked me to call back on the the same number he called.
Same as above; claimed to be from the tax office, said a warrant will be issued for my arrest and that his name we as James Anderson (sounded like he had an accent).
Got a call this afternoon from someone who said to contact James Anderson from the ATO and they had received a complaint about me relating to tax evasion/avoidance. When I called back the phone was engaged.
I got a call from James Anderson about an hour and half ago. He left a message similar to the ones mentioned here informing me the ATO had received a legal complaint under my name regarding tax evasion/avoidance and threatened me with arrest.
I did call back but the phone was either engaged or there was no answer.
Just had a missed call from this number. Left a message saying, they have received a legal complaint under my name regarding tax evasion!!! Doesn't say who called or to even call back. This number is not listed for any ATO office in Australia. Report to ATO if you get this call.
James Anderson has just left me a message stating that there is a warrant out for my arrest. Have these guys got nothing better to do with their time!
I got a call from this number earlier today. When I rang ir back got weird engaged signal. Got thru a few minutes ago, missed the name of the male, and where he worked. Anyway told him got a missed call, he asked my name. I said where do you work and he said Australian Tax office. Ears pricked up then. He sais something about papers being filed against mt name. (Didn't ask any other identifiable details to find me) I asjed him fir his log on details fie the ato. Told me he didn't need to give them. I told him he did, he flustered, I told him he'd picked the wrong person, lol. He hung up.
This guy is a fraud. If anyone can find out his whereabouts please post it. I have reported this to the taxation office which the number is 1800 008 540 and file the report right away.
I have been left a message from that number also saying that he is from the ATO and there is a warrant for my arrest. This guy had an Asian accent. They are also leaving messages on my home phone number. Don't know how they have made the connection. These scammers should go out and get a real job!
Received a call from James Anderson saying there ia legal action about tax avoidance and to return the call before a warrant is issued for my arrest. And ti not ignore this call.. Well gueas what James I won't be calling you back.
Just missed a call from this number, but "James Anderson" from the ATO left a VM message insisting I call him back before they issue a warrant for my arrest!! Definitely a scam and I won't be calling back. I have blocked this number.
Just got a call from this person James Anderson, who wanted me to call him back. Crapppp, I just watch about this scammer on Nine News about this ATO, he's voice is an Indian voice. Definitely scammer.....
Just received a call from "james anderson" claiming to be from the australian taxation office. Said I had committed tax fraud and insisted I called back on that number, not the 132861 number that's listed as the official number for the ATO. Disregard call. scam/spam alert.
Hi, just got a call from James Anderson, fake accent possibly computerised tell your oldies these people are scammers!! I fear they may unwillinly give out details.
The more people who spread the word, the less people will be hurt financialy by them... They need to be stopped!!!
I just recieved a text from James Anderson as well. Mine had a strong Asian accent. ATO SAID IT IS A SCAM, they have filed s report. Do not respond to this number.
A James Anderson just called my mobile from this number, he had an American accent and said he was from the Tax Office. He said he was investigating me for tax fraud and evasion, he pretty much demanded that I call him back on said number.
After googling this number it appears to be a scam, and I won't be calling him back.
Yep. tax scam. Have twice rung me to give me a "last warning" before the tax office issues a warrant for my arrest. Had same thing last year. The tax office don't do this sort of nonsense.
Yet another Taxation Office scam attempt - & when you call back they answer Australian Taxation Office, ask you for your tax file number & hang up when you refuse to give it.
This guy is a fraud. I have reported this to the taxation office number is 1800 008 540 and file a report right away.
Same stuff.
Warrant for my arrest etc.
Tax dept. Do not phone you usually.
Just received message in regard to tax fraud!!! Blocked this number.
