ATO Arrest Scam Alert! - +61 8 9467 7866 ((08) 9467 7866)
Summary — +61894677866
Expert Opinion
This number originates scam calls impersonating the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and Australian Federal Police (AFP), threatening arrest warrants for alleged tax debts to coerce payment or personal info. All reports describe automated recordings with urgent, fear-inducing scripts that don't match official procedures—real agencies never demand immediate action via unsolicited calls. Scammers exploit trust in authorities, often using generic case numbers to seem legitimate. Hang up instantly on such threats; never engage or provide details. Report to the ATO via their official site or Scamwatch for tracking. Blocking helps, but they rotate numbers—stay vigilant against fear tactics and verify claims independently. If worried about taxes, contact ATO directly through known channels.
