Lines flooded with scam tax fine calls

CASEY police have been inundated with local reports of scammers pretending to be from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Police are warning that these calls are a “scam” and should be reported to Scam Watch.
The callers may ask for money or vouchers for payment of a fine and threaten to arrest or deport people for non-compliance.
Casey officers have advised anyone who receives a call from the ATO to disregard the requested action from the caller.
Call 1300 795 995 or visit www.scamwatch.gov.au to make a report.
