It is important to stay vigilant against fraudulent emails, text messages and calls claiming to be from the ATO or other financial institutions. Scammers often use fear tactics, urgent language, and official-looking logos, links and websites to trick people into providing personal information or making payments.

To help you stay informed, visit the ATO’s Scam Alert page which provides the latest information on common scams, tips for recognising fake messages, and steps to take if you receive a suspicious email or call.
