Weiters scammed

[northernblue]

Not that long ago.

Here is the business I have a vested interest in https://maskarade.com.au/.

Perhaps I have better luck getting through than you do or perhaps it's not as hard as you are making it out to be.

Either way if someone is impersonating a vendor the appropriate thing to do is not to trust them and contact said institutions to verify they want or need something from you. 

It depends on what you want to discuss with someone like the ATO.
If it’s a BAS/ABN/tech type enquiry you can usually talk to someone.
Try calling to reschedule a BAS payment… you can’t because it’s a totally automated system.
Try picking up the phone and even finding a number to call about immigration visas, good luck on that, let alone being answered.

As mentioned earlier, the banks red flags should have gone up given the types and frequency of the transactions, Weiters forked up but the bank failed him and others EVERY DAY.
