Beware of 02 6100 3041, a phone number linked to a tax fraud scam. This article provides insights into the scam and tips on how to handle calls from it.

Understanding 02 6100 3041: A Tax Fraud Scam

The phone number 02 6100 3041 / 0261003041 has been reported numerous times by users as linked to an alarming tax fraud scam. Callers have received automated messages claiming to be from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), warning of serious legal repercussions unless immediate action is taken. This type of scam preys on individuals' fears and urgency, attempting to extract personal details or financial information.

What Happens When You Answer?

When you answer calls from 02 6100 3041 / 0261003041, you are likely to hear a recorded message alleging issues with your tax returns or suggesting pending litigation. Many users have reported hearing phrases like "tax fraud" and threats of legal action, which are nothing more than manipulative tactics aimed at instilling panic. If you return the call, you may encounter an individual using various aliases, claiming to represent the ATO but responding rudely or attempting to extract sensitive information under the guise of verification.

Signs That It's a Scam

  • Recorded Messages: The initial calls from this number typically feature automated voices rather than genuine interaction.
  • Threatening Language: The messages often contain warnings about serious legal consequences, which reputable government agencies would never do.
  • Unverified Claims: Requesting personal financial information, such as credit card or bank details, is a red flag.

Safety Tips to Handle Such Calls

If you receive a call from 02 6100 3041 / 0261003041 or a similar number, consider the following actions:

  • Do Not Engage: Never provide personal or financial information over the phone.
  • Report the Number: Notify the ATO or Scamwatch to help others avoid falling victim.
  • Use Reverseau: To confirm unfamiliar numbers, utilise reverse phone lookup services specifically for Australia.

Conclusion

In summary, 02 6100 3041 / 0261003041 is not a legitimate call from the ATO but a clever scam designed to intimidate and deceive. Remain vigilant, utilise reverse phone lookup resources, and ensure you do not become a victim of such fraudulent schemes. Protect your personal information, and trust your instincts if something feels off. Stay safe and informed with Reverseau.

Scam

I received a phone call from 02 6100 3041 today and a voicemail left on my message bank. The person claimed that they were from the Australian Taxation Office and that they needed to verify my account details and credit card details. They said it was to do with a tax fraud and an affidavit in my name and not to ignore the message because it can end up very messy with legal bills. I have been working since 1987 and never have I received a phone call from the tax office to verify my bank account details. So I told him where to go and I told him I knew it was a spam.

Scam

I received this afternoon an automated voice message from someone proclaiming to be from the ATO.

I was told not to ignore this important message & it referecned an ‘’affidavit in place relating to tax fraud in my name.’’.

The language tone within the recording sounded something like a Philippine accept, not that this matters these days in Gov Deptartmets.

Out of curiosity I phoned back 02 6100 3041, as requested.

The person who answered identified himself as James Martinez – from ATO, fluent in english with with a notabe accent - possibly Asian.

I then asked how I could help.

He said the ATO need to update my debit & credit card details.

I challenged this immediately, asking how I am able to know for sure who he actually was.

He then got defensive & verified my email address (which was correct).

Then said he'd send an sms & email to verify my bank details as soon as I provided them to him.

I asked why he was asking about my banking details…when the voice recording mentioned tax fraud.

He hung up immediately.

Tax scam. Just had a call from this number and last week I got one from 02 61004343 (whilst overseas - cost me a fortune to answer it!).

Any ideas how to stop this?!

I have been receiving numerous calls from this source about tax evasion. Obviously it is a spam number with a prerecorded message, and reflecting all comments from above. How do I get rid of this caller?

What other extension is "it" using?

Scam

I was called by this number today and also last week. A recorded announcement said I had tax fraud issues, and pending litigation, and I should return their call urgently but by a registered attorney.

I did as requested, heard an international dial tone, and a "John McLean from ATO" answered with an obvious East Asian accent. I asked where he was from, and he replied "None of your business", and when I pressed further received the reply "F*** you F***er, sonofabitch.".
