How to spot a tax scam

We’re in the season of tax returns and now is a great time for scammers to strike. Here’s some things to keep an eye out for but it’s not exclusive.

  • unless you have engaged an accountant, no one will contact you about your tax except myGov
  • if myGov contact you, they won’t tell you to do anything except check your inbox (exception is security codes but you will have initiated the reason for this)
  • if myGov contact you, DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS. They don’t send them.
  • if you get a message from mygov and it shows a phone number, it’s a scam. MyGov messages will only say they are from myGov. This isn’t a guarantee that it’s legit, but the lack of it means scam.

Please add more tips below to ensure people don’t get caught out.

    I’ve got a website based on Joomla that is over 10 years old. I know Wordpress is a better option and have been using it for other stuff for the last 5 years.

    Why isn’t the first one migrated over to Wordpress? Because I can’t be fucked, it still works.

    What are your thoughts on this? Seems to me a long overdue discussion for the government to have. The ads are out of control.

    Seasonal Bin Chickens

    Has anyone noticed more of the darker bin chickens getting around since it’s gotten colder? Straw-necked Ibis I believe. I saw one months ago and now they seem to be integrated with the stock standard bin chickens most places I go.
