ATO warns about aggressive phone scams
The ATO is again warning the public to be aware of a phone scam that is circulating, where fraudsters are intimidating people into paying a fake tax debt over the phone.
The aggressive scam attempts to force people to pay a fake tax debt immediately by threatening arrest if they don’t comply.
Editor: If any client receives a call from the ATO we recommend that they should ask for the caller’s name and either call our office with the details or phone them back through the ATO’s switchboard on 13 28 69.
