Hi Taurisk, have some f'un with it. I got a call from the 'ATO' advising me that an audit of my tax return had revealed an anomaly which needed to be rectified. I adopted my 'concerned' voice and asked how the matter could be rectified. The caller told me that if I acted quickly my debt could be remedied before he passed my file up the chain to a higher officer. He said if I provided my bank a/c details to him he would withdraw the amount owed by me (about $560). I asked him how I could trust him and he gave me his name and said he would be sacked if he emptied my bank a/c. I agreed and gave him the name of my bank and then my a/c number which was ##850967465398576384#334.......He realised I had wasted some of his scamming time. He abused me and hung up.

Have some fun with those calls Taurisk. How do they get your number. The have number generating device which dials random numbers. They get lucky sometimes.

@Yoggit - same thing happened to me, except I just hung up. A friend of mine really enjoys playing with those scammers and has all sorts of answers ready, the mildest one - when he knows it's a scammer - answering the phone responding; Perth City Morgue
or when it is from an illegal call center; he pretends to be investigating police and could he speak to the supervisor etc. etc.
and then he bores his friends with those stories - but he is a man and in my age group they have become a protected species ' haha' !
Go well
