The ATO has issued an urgent warning not to answer this phone call.
The Australian Taxation Office has issued an urgent warning about the overseas scam calls, which manipulate caller identification to appear as if they are coming from a real ATO phone number.
The ATO has received 40,225 reports of impersonation scams since January, compared with about 30,000 reports at tax time last year. The calls have fooled 321 people, who have collectively paid about $1 million to scammers. “If they do have concerns they can call us on our scam hotline 1800 008 540. They also need to be careful to understand their tax position and guard their personal financial information.”• The ATO will never send you an email or SMS asking you to click on a link directing you to a login page
