9 yearsI got a call earlier today saying I owed 45 grand in fines for not paying tax from 2011 to 2017. Thing is, I only just moved to Australia and only worked here for three years during that period, and I always paid tax from my wages. Honestly, if I manage to track down who that bloke was...Australia9 yearsI got a voicemail from someone named Officer Matthew Clark, who said it was really urgent and told me to ring his division's hotline at 02 61008543 because apparently there's a court case against me. This scam keeps coming up so why hasn’t anything been done to stop it? I’m curious how these folks overseas manage to get hold of our phone numbers in the first place. Luckily I looked up the number before phoning back! I’ve blocked that number now on my phone. Is that the best thing to do?Matthew Clark9 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be Officer Matthew Clark, who left a message saying something about an urgent matter and told me to ring his division's number at 02 61008543 because apparently there was a lawsuit involving me. This scam seems to keep popping up, so why isn’t anything done to shut it down? Also, I really wanna know how these scammers abroad keep finding our personal phone numbers.

Definitely felt like a scam to me.ATO Scam9 yearsI got a voicemail from someone calling himself Officer Matthew Clark, pretty much saying the same thing about a super urgent legal issue. He told me to ring his department on 02 61008543 because there's supposedly a lawsuit against me. It's mad how these calls keep popping up even though folks report them all the time. Honestly, how do these overseas scammers manage to find our mobile numbers so easily? Luckily, I looked the number up before calling back! I've already blocked it on my phone. Is that the best thing to do?Matthew Clark9 yearsGot loads of calls from this number, says it's the ATO. Honestly, anyone with half a brain knows the Aussie Tax Office wouldn't ring you like that.

When I rang back using my mobile, they claimed to be from the ATO.. yeah right.. watch out for this!Australian Taxation OfficeATO9 yearsSo, this number kept ringing me and even left a voicemail. When I finally picked up, some bloke who said he was William Scott from the ATO claimed I had debts to pay, warning that an officer would come to arrest me straight away if I didn’t.
