I doubt the ATO would email...most likely send a letter out.

I would just give them a call and confirm it though.

And wth is "fiscal activity?"

 

[marcmarc]

Sounds dodge to me, give the ATO a call.

The ATO is apparently aware of it, and it is definitely a scam, so dont give them any details!

definitely a scam, they want your personal details and steal your identity.
the only email the ato ever send out is the one to remind you to do your tax return. if the ato wanted to give you back more money (which doesnt make sense) they'd put it straight into your account.

Thanks all..i didnt think theyd email asking for details like that. Usually theyd call.
I wonder how many people they get with that scam..

never send your account details to an unsolicited email!
