Phone calls from people posing as &#8216;tax officers&#8217; that provide fraudulent ATO call-back details. Emails about &#8216;the recipient&#8217;s tax refund, special deals and donations&#8217; that are made to appear to have come from the ATO and use &#8216;ATO or government&#8217; in the email address. Emails containing a dangerous virus, which when opened or downloaded will crash the recipient&#8217;s computer &#8220;It is important that the community and businesses stays mindful and vigilant as scammers are increasing their efforts to make their scams appear genuine. &#8220;We rely on the community and businesses to alert us to suspicious behaviour.

		<description><![CDATA[Fraudulent emails are circulating which pretend to be from the Australian Tax Office. Using social engineering tricks the criminals behind these emails try to trick you into providing personal information as a pretext to receiving a tax refund. This personal information can be used by the criminals to steal your identity. The subject of the email may contain wording the same as, or similar to: E-tax 2011 The from line of the email may contain wording the same as, or similar to: e-tax@ato.com This is a scam. The emails may include links to web sites that attempt to trick you into supplying personal details, such as your name, date of birth and credit card details (in order to receive the fake refund). Providing the information requested is likely to mean that your personal and/or business information may be accessed for fraudulent or illegal purposes. As the end of the financial year approaches it is likely there will be an increase in scams similar to this. What we recommend you do If you receive an email similar to this one, do not reply or click on the links in the email.

		<description><![CDATA[During the busy tax season, scammers will try to catch you off guard using phone calls, letters, text messages, emails, bogus websites and even false job advertisements to trick you into providing your personal details, banking information and pay money. The ATO are aware of a current telephone scam operating where a person claiming to be from the ATO or &#8220;Taxation Department&#8221; calls offering you a grant of $7000 if you pay $200. These scammers try to appear more legitimate by providing you with a case number and a telephone number to call back on. Anyone who receives these types of calls or messages should treat it with caution and not provide any personal details, banking information or money. Did you that the ATO will never ask you to pay money to receive your refund. If you think you have been the victim of a scam, contact the ATO client contact centre immediately by phoning 13 28 61 (8.00am to 6.00pm, Monday to Friday). You can also report suspected email scams to the ATO by forwarding the email to ReportEmailFraud@ato.gov.au. For more information on correct reporting to the ATO and Tax Returns contact the team at South East Access South East Access Upstairs Harbourside [...]]]></description>
