Is your identity secure?
Protect your tax file number. Protect your identity.
You only have one identity, and it is up to you to protect it from being used by someone else to commit fraud in your name.
Scammers are continually inventing scams designed to steal your identity, your money, or both. They might contact you by email, phone, mail or in person, and they can be very convincing.
Remember, the ATO:
will never ask you to pay money to receive a refund or payment from us.
will never send you an email asking you to provide personal information (like your tax file number (TFN) or credit card number).
may contact you to request payment in relation to outstanding debts but we will never ask you for your credit card details to process a payment on your behalf. Payments should be made through normal ATO payment channels.
Stay one step ahead of the scammers
your tax file number (TFN) is an important part of your identity. Only provide your TFN to an authorised person or organisation, for example the ATO, your bank, Centrelink, your super fund or your employer after you start work.

If you think you have been scammed, contact the ATO immediately by:
