Seriously?? Are people really so silly that they think this is legitimate? Perhaps you shouldn’t have the remote for the tv if you are this foolish.

Screenshot the email and report them immediately to the authorities and don’t click on links at all, it is all a money grab of the gullible. When in doubt hit delete, it’s that simple!
If you are up to no good you will get a letter in the mail from the ATO with an actual reference number and real contact details.

That also includes your legal rights ect, including how to appeal against a decision, which is standard in all government agencies in Australia. The AFP will come calling directly to your house, and if you are not home; a business card is left with real contact details and the name of the AFP officer to contact.
