Scam

If only someone or some bodies could get hold of these scammers. I got the call at work today and it was very embarrassing. There should be an open day on these vermin like there is on some many pests.

I received a call from this number while I was not nearly the phone. He left a message for me to ring back. If I do not do not ring back. I will be arrested. I rang back and the person said it is some sort of investigation department and asked for my name and phone. I am not sure what is going on.

Scam

Received a recorded message from this number. The message was in an American accent saying it was the ATO advising that I was being sued. If I don't return the call they will issue an arrest warrant!

I don't believe this is how the ATO do business so I'm assuming it's spam and I'm not returning the call. They can issue the arrest warrant!
