I googled this number and I came across all these messages.Thanks guys for raising an alarm,since I too had a voice message on my answering machine ,the call was made last sunday 06.07.14 and he had an indian/fiji accent he called himself Alex Watson and claimed he is calling from ATO sydney HO - and its about leagal case ,it is very sensitive and if he didnt hear from us -we would be booked under legal proceedings.
As mentioned on previous messages,there was chaotic noise that I could hear in background .
Well, my first thought was why ATO would call me on Sunday morning? And as mentioned on previous messages, normally we should expect a legal formal letter.To all who posted their messages kudos once again for alerting about this fake number and guy on public domain. Seriously,these kind of people needs to be jailed for ruining the peace of a normal family/individuals.

I have received the similar call from that number, and he asked me to make outstanding payment of 2012 and 2013 tax returns. According letter was posted from ATO and no action has been taken from me to make that payment. He treat me , if i don' t make payment in next 25 minutes, then case has been forward to WA court and police for settlement, where I can get hit of 6 to 7 K additional charges.
I can easily figure out the Indian accent, he was Indian. He declared his name Marvin Roger calling from Sydney Taxation office. He asked me to go to post office and make the payment ASAP., He also advised me not to involve third party to consult now as I have only half an hour to make payment to with draw the case. I called ATO to confirm any outstanding payment; they have advised me that this was fake call.
Please friend stay away from such fraud people, who want to earn someone hard earned money.

"alex" rang, claiming that he was from ATO and if I did not call him back, he will press legal charges against me. My dad attempted to contact him however no one picked up.

I googled this number and found all the cases above ^ and have come to the conclusion that it is another scam.

I urge everyone to be weary of such pathetic individuals.

Firstly, they may be hard to understand...I'm sure ATO would employ individuals with fluent english speaking skills

Secondly, there is too much noise in the background.....a true ATO office would not have such annoyances

Thirdly, if someone's threatening to sue you via a phone on behalf of a Government office...then its already a joke. If you're ever going to get sued, expect a formal letter.

I hope everyone sees this and battles these pathetic people who try and torture us via our own phone lines and try to steal our money.

Especially if they leave a message on the answering machine, you come home from work, hear it and panic...it makes you more vulnerable.

I hope no one falls victim to "alex" and that the ATO are aware of what is going on.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. Some Indian guy calling himself Jason Wright called me at work saying I have a pending case against me and that I should call him back. When I did, he said it was a matter of $1495 in unpaid taxes. The strange thing is, when I called the actual ATO on their website number, they had no notice of any cases with me and had never heard of a Jason Wright in their department. 100% Fraud right here.

I received a call on my home phone from 0280149848 and the person left a voice message stating that there is a pending case against me and if I dont call him back than he'll start legal proceeding against me. The person who called knew my surname.

Some one called from this number and mentioned that he is from ATO, there are few pending cases against me and I need to call him back. The call was from an Indian call centre and guy was an Indian with a pseudo name of Alex.
