got a call from this no saying. they are from immigration department and saying there are many complains on me. I wanted to talk to them, but they ended the call knowing. they have been played as well.
Didn't answer the call as I didn't recognise the number. Called the number back and got message saying call could not be connected. Obviously using spoofing technology to make a fake mobile number appear on the screen when calling. Definitely dodgy.
Recorded message from 'home affairs' stating my name is being used illegally and there is a warrant out for my arrest. Told me to press 1 immediately. I hung up instead!
Received a call from them just now. Once an agent started talking, I asked for my name right of the bat. I didn't provide any details and he became very aggravated and started threatening me. Please do not answer.
I just received a call today 19/6/2020. Had heard of people having these calls years ago, must be doing the rounds again?
They just called me and I hung up. Melbourne. Australia.

received a call from this number,home affairs claiming they have an arrest warrant for me and to talk to an agent to type #1 then they hang up switched my phone off for few hours does it mean my phone has been hacked ?
Got a call from the same number after I logged into the mygov website, I called the number back and it said the number had been disconnected. Then I googled the number and it appears everyone else has had the same experience.
Just received a call from this number. Hung up.

Got a miss call from 0461 604 584 after I logged into myGov and received the code today owner it it related. When I rang it said not connected.
Scam call. ATO may leaked the phone number from their mygov app
Answered a call today 18/06 and it was an automated voice saying my TFN is being suspended. I have an appointment with my accountant next week so I wasn't worried and hung up then looked online to see that this phone number was a scam. Don't bother with answering or with returning the call. ATO only connects with you the same way your bank does - never through unprofessional and unsolicited calls.
Ditto. Except automated message told me to ‘press 1J’. (I didn’t) Hung up, looked up number, saw your scam warning.
I got call from this number this afternoon and did the same thing. He told me to pressed number 1, but I ignored and ended my call.. After that, I tried to call this number, not connected
