Beware of calls from 02 4014 9062, identified as a scam number associated with ATO tax refund fraud. Discover how to manage calls from this number and protect yourself from potential scams.

Understanding the Scam Behind 02 4014 9062

If you've received a call from 02 4014 9062 / 0240149062, it's crucial to be aware that this number is associated with an elaborate scam targeting unsuspecting individuals under the guise of ATO tax refunds. Users have reported unsettling experiences, including unexplained background noise and unsolicited offers that quickly raise red flags.

The Nature of the Scam

Reviews indicate that the callers from this number claim to represent the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and often pretend to offer tax refunds. One user noted on 26/06/2023 that they received an unsolicited message promising a refund. However, upon contacting the ATO, it was confirmed that this was a scam, designed to collect personal information under false pretences. Such tactics are not uncommon among scammers aiming to exploit fears related to taxes.

Users' Experiences

Interestingly, reviewers have noticed that these callers sometimes don't say anything when prompted or may leave the phone line open, which creates confusion and frustration. It's essential to remember that legitimate organisations like the ATO typically communicate crucial information through official channels, not through unexpected phone calls.

How to Handle Calls from This Number

  • Do Not Engage: If you receive a call from 02 4014 9062 / 0240149062, it's best to hang up immediately without providing any information.
  • Verify Independently: If the caller indicates they are from the ATO, independently verify any tax refund claims through official channels.
  • Report the Number: Alert authorities or local consumer protection agencies about the number to help prevent further scams.
  • Consider Block Options: While some users reported difficulties in blocking the number, it’s advisable to censor calls from unwanted numbers through phone settings or third-party apps.

Maintaining vigilance against such scams not only protects you but also helps inform others. For more information on suspicious numbers, Reverseau provides tools for conducting a Reverse Phone Lookup Australia to identify who called you and determine whether it’s safe to engage.

You can't block this number. I have multiple times including twice yesterday.

Tax Refund on spot. STAY AWAY. When I ring the ATO, they text me immediately saying they can get me $1666 refund. Multiple numbers and you can't tell them to stop enough.

I received a call about a supposed tax refund and want to warn others to stay away. When I contacted the ATO, they texted me right after stating I could get a $1,666 refund. The same scam is using different numbers, making it hard to block them since they have approximately 50 different phone numbers.

Said nothing but could hear other adults in background. But they left no message. Rang twice.
