0262161111 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 0262161111 👆 is reported as a persistent and aggressive scam originating from a number purporting to be the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Callers use threatening tactics, including claims of outstanding tax debts, arrest warrants, and imminent legal action to intimidate recipients into providing personal or financial information. Many calls involve prerecorded messages and pressure victims to make payments via unconventional methods such as vouchers or ATMs. Numerous individuals have confirmed the calls are fraudulent, with some victims experiencing significant distress. The legitimate ATO does not operate in this manner and advises verifying suspicious calls through official channels. It is strongly advised not to engage, provide any information, or remit payments, and to report the scam promptly to relevant authorities while blocking the number.
Reports on phone number 0262161111
7 yearsGot a call from 02 6617 9280 claiming they were from the ATO investigation team in Canberra. They wanted my full name but I didn’t give it. When I asked for their contact info, they just gave me 02621611111 and then ended the call.ATOCanberra7 yearsI got a call from them asking for my bank info too. Definitely don’t trust it.7 yearsI got a call from them as well. Definitely just a scam.7 yearsA colleague of mine got calls from these people saying she had a $6,000 debt and that there was a warrant for her arrest. They didn’t stop ringing and even claimed to be police officers. It was so overwhelming for her that she actually passed out and had to be taken away in an ambulance. Honestly, they’re absolutely the worst kind of people!7 yearsHad a call early this morning claiming I had a warrant out for my arrest. They were insisting I’m some sort of criminal, which honestly sounds like one of those scam calls. Still, I know I’ve always paid my taxes, so no way is that true!8 yearsI've gotten calls from that number a couple of times before and I always just ignored them. But this time my husband picked up and told the caller he was a detective sergeant, after that the bloke just ended the call. What a bunch of scammers!8 yearsReceived a call earlier with some recorded voice, defo a scam.8 yearsGot two calls from an automated system recently. Honestly, it's really irritating.8 yearsGot a call showing Canberra on my phone, but I didn't pick up. Instead, I quickly looked the number up online and ended up on this site.Canberra8 yearsWatch out, this number is definitely connected to an ATO scam!8 yearsGot a call from this number recently, and from what I can tell, it’s one of those ATO scams.ATO8 yearsGot a suspicious text last week telling me the tax return I did was fake, definitely looks like a scam from the ATO. Watch out, folks!ATO8 yearsTotal scam, don’t pick up! They’ve got it so clever now, it showed up on my Android as the ATO, which is why I actually answered. Right away, the fake automated message hit me, claiming I owed money. When I pressed the number to sort it out, I could hear all this background noise like a call centre full of scammers, and then one of them asked why I’d called. Seems like these crooks all work from the same place now, running loads of scams at once, and try to get your details first to choose which con to run. Honestly, I wish someone could hack their systems, or worse. These people deserve something bad.8 yearsYesterday, I got two calls from this number claiming I had debts with the Australian tax office. Really hope someone takes action soon before some poor soul falls for it and ends up losing a fortune.Australian Taxation Office8 yearsRIP-OFF - This number kept ringing me non-stop, like 5 times in just 3 days. They even tried hiding their caller ID but eventually they showed a number, so I picked up. The guy went straight away on about me owing money to the tax folks, which is rubbish cause I pay my taxes every year without fail. I ended up telling him off pretty harshly after he had the nerve to call me a crook.8 yearsAfter a long pause, this call hit me with a robotic voice claiming to be from the ATO. Totally felt like a scam to me.8 yearsThis number just called me today and I’m pretty sure it’s a fake. Is it some kind of scam or something?8 yearsSomeone from India picked up when I called back.India8 yearsSounds like one of those tax office scam calls, didnt answer and blocked the number straight away. Don’t waste your time with it.ATO8 yearsGot a voicemail warning me about taxes, definitely some scam going on.8 yearsSo, this number called me saying I had debts with the ATO. I told them I’m quite diligent about always paying my taxes and that I’m a straight-up taxpayer. Then they threatened to issue an arrest warrant! I asked them if they were actually judges with the power to do that, and guess what? They just hung up on me. Proper funny, honestly!8 yearsIt was one of those ATO scam calls, told me all sorts. Best thing to do is just end the call straight away.ATO8 yearsBeware, this number is a scam pretending to be from the Australian Tax Office!Australian Tax Office8 yearsGot a call earlier today, but it was just a recorded message. They ended the call pretty quick. The voice on the recording sounded like they were Asian.8 yearsThe ATO scammers seriously need locking up, there’s so many of them! This number popped up after I blocked another one yesterday. It’s honestly mad how persistent these calls are!ATO8 yearsI just got a call from 0262161111 too. This has got to be looked into and put an end to.8 yearsThis number just rang me up claiming I owed £2,400. When I told them it was a scam and not legit, the person on the other end told me to f*** off repeatedly. Proper rude!8 yearsDon't bother replying or sharing any info with them.8 yearsSo I just got a phone call from these people claiming I owed £2789 in tax right away. I told them I always file my tax returns properly every year, so I couldn’t understand what was going on. Then, when I mentioned I haven’t been working because I’m battling breast cancer and undergoing chemo, the person told me to go to the post office and wait for instructions on how to pay. Honestly, I was so freaked out at first because I had switched accountants recently after moving house, so I thought maybe something was actually wrong. The stress really hit me hard. In the end, I contacted the police to check if it was a scam and also did a quick Google search to confirm it was bogus.Google8 yearsI just received a voicemail from the ATO, but I’m not convinced it’s genuine!ATO8 yearsOn the 19th of November, I got an auto message from this phone and also from 02 6215 1116 like five times. I ended up blocking both numbers. Then, today the 20th, a call came through from a Private number, so I picked up. Turns out, it was the exact same automated caller again.8 yearsSomeone rang me pretending to be from the ATO, accusing me of tax fraud. If you’re unsure whether a call from the ATO is genuine, head over to their official site: https://www.ato.gov.au/General/Online-services/Identity-security/Verify-or-report-a-scam/ Also, if you suspect you’ve been targeted by a scammer posing as the ATO, you can get in touch with them directly on 1800 008 540. They’re available from 8am to 6pm, Monday through Friday, to help confirm if the call was real.ATO8 yearsDefinitely a scam, in my opinion. I'd say just block the number straight away.8 yearsGot a call that felt like some kinda threat. Really put me on edge.8 yearsI just got this call and it was a voicemail from the tax department or something like that??? Pretty sure it was automated.Tax Office8 yearsI got a call from someone pretending to be the ATO on a Saturday. Like, who even works for government offices at the weekend? Honestly these scammers must be really clueless.ATO8 yearsHas anyone else noticed getting loads of scam calls ever since switching to Dodo for mobile? I didn’t get all these spam calls before, so I’m starting to wonder if Dodo might be sharing my details with who knows who. Bit annoying if that’s the case!8 yearsJust to say, giving out your date of birth and postcode by itself isn’t enough for someone to steal your identity. But I’ve definitely learnt not to share any personal info on the phone. Legit businesses always get in touch through email or send letters in the post. So from now on, I’m keeping my details to myself when called out of the blue.8 yearsI wouldn't bother answering these calls at all. But if you do, just feed them some nonsense and they'll probably end the call pretty quick, like what happened to me. There's no way the official ATO would ring you like this, so just watch out!8 yearsGot a call from some robo-voice telling me I've supposedly broken some ATO rules and to press one if I wanna avoid getting arrested or whatever. I’m so relieved I just ended the call right away!8 yearsThis number rang me yesterday, but for some reason I wasn’t able to pick up, whether that’s a good thing or bad, who knows!8 yearsGot a voicemail saying "this is the ato..." then it just cut off, didn't even finish what it was gonna say.8 yearsJust after finishing work today, I received a call from someone claiming I'd committed tax fraud and warning me it was a final notice from the tax office. When I pressed 1, I was linked to a woman with an Indian accent who immediately started asking for personal details. She talked me through stuff and managed to get my date of birth and postcode before suddenly hanging up. I’m now really anxious about my identity being stolen or misused. Does anyone know what steps I should take to protect myself? Also, is my bank account at risk? Any advice would be much appreciated, cheers.ATO8 yearsThis number rang me up pretending to be the ATO. I ended the call before they could say much.ATO8 yearsLike everyone else said, I looked up the number here first, and then when it rang I just didn’t answer.8 yearsThis morning, I got a call from some really pushy scammers pretending they were from the ATO. They were saying I had a warrant out for my arrest and it was so intense, I was almost in tears! Honestly, I nearly got fooled because of how scary and forceful they sounded. Someone needs to put an end to this!8 yearsThis number rang me a moment ago, and when I asked them what their name was, I told them, "If you’ve called me, surely you know my name?" They just ended the call straight away after that.8 yearsI just got a call from this number claiming I owe the ATO $2635. They said if I don’t pay $1000 straight away or they’ll start legal stuff, the costs and court fees will jump to $30,000. They kept passing me around to different people, like they’ve been doing this scam for ages.8 yearsThis number rang me but hung up almost right away, then a call from a 'no caller ID' came through and did the same thing - just disconnected straight away.8 yearsGot a call from a number claiming to be the ATO, but it all started with a robotic voice message. Definitely felt like one of those scam calls. Be careful, it’s not legit!ATO8 yearsThey’ve rang me thrice now, only a recorded message each time. Don’t bother answering, it’s definitely a scam.8 yearsI got the same call, total scam, just ended the call right away.8 yearsToday I got two calls from this number, both times a recorded message saying it was from the ATO. I don’t answer these anymore and just hung up straight away. It’s annoying because they call from silent numbers so you can’t even see who’s ringing. This isn’t the first time they’ve bothered me either, they keep on doing it. I’ve got an older phone which sadly doesn’t have a block feature, so there’s not much I can do.ATO8 yearsToday I ended the call from this number because it was one of those automated messages pretending to be from the tax office. They called me two more times later, both from silent numbers. They’ve bothered me before and aren’t giving up. I’ve got an old mobile that doesn’t let me block numbers. Plus, they keep ringing my landline all day, several times daily. This really needs to end!ATO8 yearsI got a call from this number earlier, and they said they were from the ATO.ATO8 yearsI keep having to block their numbers cause they keep calling me, but it’s always from a different one. So annoying!8 yearsJust a heads up, it's definitely a scam - best not to pick up.8 yearsI had the exact same thing happen to me, so watch out - this is definitely a scam.8 yearsTotal muppets!! They kept pushing me for my name and where I live - and when I refused to share, they rudely told me to "put the phone down and stop wasting their time" or something like that. The automated message claimed I'd been flagged by the ATO for dodgy income tax stuff. Such a load of rubbish!ATO8 yearsHeads up, this is definitely a scam pretending to be the ATO! I checked with the actual ATO and they confirmed it’s fake. Make sure to report these calls to the proper authorities.8 yearsBeware, it’s a scam from the ATO. Just end the call straight away!ATO8 yearsI had a call from someone claiming to be a government officer telling me I owed back taxes. It was one of those automated messages, and they said I needed to sort the tax payment quick using an ATM.8 yearsGot a call today from some guy who wanted me to fork out 7000, then said I should pop over to a 7/11 to sort it out. Totally a scam, just don’t bother with it!8 yearsGot a call from this number today claiming to be from the ATO, saying it was my last warning. They asked me to head over to an ATM to sort some supposed issue. They did give me a case number but never bothered to check my TFN. Definitely a scam.ATO8 yearsBeware, this number is used by scammers claiming to be from the ATO. They keep threatening people, saying the police will show up and lock you up. Don't fall for it, it’s all lies. Please make sure to report this fraud.ATO8 yearsThis number called me as well. I actually got two calls from a US number claiming it was the last warning about unpaid taxes. They keep saying it’s the ‘final’ notice but I checked with the ATO and it’s a lie. Very frustrating!USATO8 yearsSame here, got hit by one of those ATO scam calls.ATO8 yearsWatch out, it's an ATO scam! Best to not pick up the phone. Definitely report it if you do.ATO8 yearsThis just shows again how rubbish our governments are when it comes to keepin people safe.8 yearsI almost got scammed by some people claiming they could fix my ATO issues without needing to go to court. They were trying to take my money, so watch out for this kind of stuff!ATO8 yearsI saw the call but didn’t pick up because it showed as possible spam on my phone.8 yearsCalled but didn’t pick up cause it showed up as spam warning... just more of the same spam calls!8 yearsPretty sure this was a scam bot pretending to be from the ATO.8 yearsThis number has called me twice in less than an hour now. Can't something be done to stop this?8 yearsThis has to be an ATO scam. Best to just block the number and don’t pick up at all.8 yearsSo, lunchtime today I got a call but I was already on another line so I accidentally ended it quick. Later, curious about the number 02.6216.1111, I rang it back. There was a recorded message warning me that if I received a call like that it could be a scam and told me to report it by ringing 1800.008.540. I went ahead and contacted that 1800 number, which seems legit from the ATO for reporting scams. They asked for my info, filed a report, and told me to block the original 02.62 number since the ATO apparently never tried to reach me. It’s all a bit baffling because the scammer used that 02.62 number, but calling it back just directs you to the ATO scam report line??? Kinda confusing to me, but the 1800 number does show up as official on the ATO website.ATO8 yearsYesterday, my elderly mum got a call from a private number, with someone pretending to be from the ATO. The bloke called himself “Officer Henry Rogers” and told her she owed nearly $4000, saying she had to pay by 5:30pm or the cops would come and arrest her. Mum got really scared and he kept harassing her, telling her to pay with Walmart or other shop vouchers. He was shouting at her and being proper rude, which just made her more distressed. The moment mum mentioned the police, they suddenly hung up. Then today, they rang from 0262161111, still threatening her about some unpaid tax warrant. This time mum just hung up straight away. It’s awful how these scammers pick on our older folks like that. Please make sure your parents know about this!Henry RogersATOWalmart8 yearsTwice this week, I got calls from them. The first time I just cut them off straight away, and the second call I missed, and that was at 5.45 in the evening. There's no way the tax office is ringing so late. These scammers are the worst, proper nasty people.8 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today. I said hello but when there was no reply, I just ended the call straight away. Decided to look it up here and was glad to find loads of others saying it’s a scam. It’s about time these scammers got called out for everyone to see!8 yearsI got a call from someone pretending to be from the ATO, said his name was Danny Wilson. I ended up giving them some details, which they then turned around to use on me... really dodgy stuff.ATODanny Wilson8 yearsToday got a call from this number, and the moment I picked up, it just cut off. After checking out some comments on here, seems like it’s probably a scam. Gotta say, this site is really handy! Going to block that number right away.8 yearsGot a call from a recorded voice claiming it was the ATO and said I owed money. They wanted me to press 1 to be connected. I just dropped the call straight away.ATO8 yearsI dont get why this number keeps ringing me, but when i pick up theres just silence on the other end?8 yearsIf you get a call from someone claiming to be the tax office, just ignore it - it's definitely a scam.8 yearsGot a voicemail from someone claiming to be an ATO officer - classic ATO scam again.ATO8 yearsThis number called me twice over the past week. Seeing all the comments here, I’m relieved I let it ring out. If the ATO genuinely needed to contact me, I reckon they’d be sending emails or notifications through MyGov instead of random phone calls like this.ATOMyGov8 yearsSo this number rang me up saying they were from the ATO, telling me I owed a big sum and could end up in jail or had to pay $50K. I told them I’m all clear with my payments, done everything properly and you can check with my accountant. Then the caller asked for her name, which made me suspicious because they should have that info already. That’s when I knew it was a scam and I ended the call. The woman on the other end was really rude, even started shouting trying to scare me.ATO8 yearsThis number ring both my landline and my other half's mobile. They said they were from the tax folks and told us we owed cash, saying the police would come if we didn’t pay. They wanted me to press 1 to sort out my credit info, but I just hung up. Later, I checked my MyGov account and everything was paid, no worries there. It’s clear this is just a scam. It really frustrates me that phone companies and the authorities haven't got a grip on stopping these annoying calls and protecting people from getting ripped off.MyGov9 yearsSo yesterday (1/2/18) I was told by the ATO to ring this number while I was abroad. It seemed like a legit chat with the ATO, but honestly, it felt a bit dodgy!ATO9 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be an ATO officer, giving their name as Kevin Marsh and quoting badge number GS1868. They told me about a case file and said if I didn’t pay the amount they said I owed, my property could be seized and I’d be arrested immediately. They also mentioned that I could contest it in a court in Canberra but that would cost me $22,000. They said if I just agreed to pay outside of court, they’d put me through to their accountant. From the start, it felt fishy, so I quickly looked up the number online and found loads of complaints. When I questioned them about it, they just hung up. Total scammers!ATOKevin MarshCanberra9 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with the ATO. The person said their name was Kevin Marsh and gave a badge number GS1868, then mentioned a case file number. They told me if I didn’t pay the alleged debt, my property would be seized, and that I’d be arrested immediately, or I could fight the charge in Canberra court for a fee of $22,000. They offered to put me through to their accountant for payment outside court. Right from the start, it felt dodgy so I looked up their phone number online and found loads of complaints, which confirmed my doubts. When I questioned them about the poor reviews, they just hung up. Totally scammers!ATOKevin MarshCanberra10 yearsIt’s a total scam. They claim they’re from the ATO and threaten you with arrest within an hour. They also say if you have a lawyer, get them to call instead. I got really confused at first, but luckily I realised it was fake before I sent any money and managed to avoid getting tricked.ATO10 yearsThey kept ringing me non stop, about 8 calls all within 2 hours. I said I wasn’t interested but they just ignored it.Submit Your Own Report (262161111)
