cautious

I got a missed call from this number and I rang back. Someone with strong Indian accent says that he's from Australian Taxation Office. I said I just rang back due to the missed call. He then ask if I can provide my personal details. I felt something fishy. I said I will call again on the number that is listed on the ATO website. He didn't said anything. I hung up.
I then googled the number and come across the above notes. So, this is definitely a scammer. Beware people !
Not scammed

Scammer with Indian type accent says calling from Perth but using a Melbourne callerID number. Says I have won a holiday voucher for 6 nights with Direct Explore Holiday Club. Wants some personal information before he can release the holiday vouchers 'worth' $249. Cannot be used over Christmas. Tried this scam a few months back and used the information gleaned from last time (wrong of course) to build his spiel this time. Persistent. Be aware, be very aware.
