The Australian Tax Office wants people to be on alert for scammers using sophisticated methods to extract money from their victims.


The ATO says fraudsters engaging in phone scams are using software to produce a seemingly legitimate phone number to disguise their true identity. 

Last month alone, it says, scammers stole more than 800,000 dollars.
