Just got a strange email
complete with ATO heading, professionally worded, a ato link etc. complete with copyright signatures all at the bottom - actually looks 'legit' and one I double took at!!
the link opens to a site that looks exactly the same as the ATO - the only difference the site address in the bar at the top of the screen and not all the links work (more an image base) and it asks for personal details
Be careful people - the scammers are getting worse
