10.01.2022 SCAM ALERT PLEASE be careful. We have become aware that telephone calls are being made to our clients from callers that pretend to be from the ATO. They have suggested that errors have been made resulting in a Debt being owed to them, which must be paid or they will commence Legal Action! A small payment can be made to avoid this action taking place AND they did offer a number of payment options which included "google pre-paid cards!" They are VERY CONVINCING, even arrang...ing for a telephone call back which is supposedly from the accountants, which they mention by name, however they also stated that the regular staff member, also named, is off work at the moment and so you will be speaking with someone else. (In this case it was TIM!) Tim apologised for the mistake, which he said was as a result of trying to achieve a better result for the client. He suggested that it would be good to "do as they say" and "avoid tarnishing your reputation" by dragging this through the courts. NOTE: They use technology to imitate the telephone number ID that the call is being made from (see below)! A legitimate ATO and KTS phone number showed up as being where the calls had originated from! DO NOT ARRANGE ANY PAYMENTS until you check with us personally!
