Tax scams catching out the unwary

Tax scams catching out the unwary

Every tax time is an opportunity for scammers to target the unwary.

This time around, the scammers are phoning and claiming to be from the prosecutions department of the ATO. They then state that they believe you have committed fraud and the Sheriff’s Office has been called. You can of course make this all go away by transferring cash using the details they provide or by giving your details to them. All of it is fake.
