SCAM Alert!
Beware of cryptocurrency scams telling people they’re suspected of cryptocurrency tax evasion, and asking them to ‘connect their wallet‘ and provide personal information.
If you get an email or SMS like this, don’t click on any links or provide any information.
Scammers can use the information you give them to take off with your funds and steal your identity. Remember, a genuine message from the ATO will never ask you to access our online services via a hyperlink.
