Who Called from: 0404 472 470
I just received a call from this number, where a recorded message said that they were Services Australia, and telling me that a charge had been started against me.
They then said “Press 1 to hear about this action”.
I knew immediately that this was a scam.
If you get a call from them, or anything similar, check the Australian Tax Office website
If you’re concerned that a phone call, SMS text message, voice mail or email you receive claiming to be from Services Australia is not genuine, don’t reply to it.
If you owe us money, we’ll send you a letter to your preferred method of communication. This will be 1 of the following:
- myGov Inbox
- Express Plus Centrelink mobile app
- a letter in the mail.
If you’re not sure whether a letter is genuine, call or email the Scams and Identity Theft Helpdesk.
