Jokes aside many people fall for these .. I received one of those Tax Department Scam Messages so I decided to play the schmuck and see how far Alice would take me down the rabbit hole. When a person answered I ask them to explain the issue .. then I BS'd saying I worked for the Tax Department and that I am working with the Australian Federal Police to investigate this. I demanded that they give me details of my TFN and my Full Name, they gave me nothing but crap info which I told them so. They then panicked saying it was a mistake .. I then retorted tfr it was a mistake and hung up. I have not received anymore of those messages.
Just last week I heard that a elderly woman was scammed $220K from a false claim that an arrest warrant was issued against her so she followed the scammers bouncing ball. We laugh at peoples stupidity but this sort of thing really angers me.
