Be aware of
telephone calls where the caller is claiming to be from the Commonwealth
Director of Public Prosecutions (CDPP) or Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
There have
been a number of reports recently from Australians, including local residents,
who have received calls from scammers claiming there is a warrant out for their
arrest. The caller claims they have
unpaid taxes and require the funds to be transferred by wire or they need bank
accounts details and other personal information. Under no circumstances should you give these
details.
The police
and ATO are aware of the scam. For
