Stay alert to Phishing Scams
Liz Gibbs • September 7, 2017
Beware of emails claiming to be from organisations you deal with alerting you to unexpected changes on your ATO accounts.
To help protect your practice in these instances, we recommend you:
- do not click on hyperlinks, open attachments or log on to the organisation's website
- immediately check those accounts and contact the organisation by phone.
Report a breach
If you are aware of a data breach, you can report it to the ATO by phoning 1800 467 033 between 8.00am and 6.00pm Monday to Friday.
You can also report suspicious emails claiming to be from the ATO by forwarding the entire email to ReportEmailFraud@ato.gov.au.
