You are receiving this email from us as we want to keep our customers computers safe by keeping you informed of potential threats/risks to your computer, your online experience and keep you aware of new developments.

This month we want to alert you to recent ATO Email and Phone Scams

1) ATO Scam Alert  - Personal and Business Alert (direct from the ATO)

• Have you received an email from the ATO asking for your personal details or offering you a refund?
• We (ATO) have received a number of reports of scam emails appearing as though they are from the ATO; these may contain malware or request personal information.

We (ATO) don't request your personal information via email.

• Clicking on a link or opening an attachment may install software that gives scammers access to your computer or block you from accessing your files until you pay a ransom.
• Paying the ransom does not guarantee you will get access to your files or that scammers will not demand more money in the future.
• If you're unsure that the email is from the ATO call us on 1800 008 540.                                                                                                                                                                                      Sourced from the ATO website Newsroom https://www.ato.gov.au/Newsroom/smallbusiness/General/Think-before-you-click/

2) AUSKEY Scam Alert – Business Alert (direct from the ATO)

· We have recently detected cases of identity thieves fraudulently obtaining AUSkeys linked to legitimate businesses.

• Once an AUSkey has been allocated, access is gained to the Business Portal so that fraudulent BAS can be lodged and bank details updated to accounts that are not controlled by the entity.
• We were able to detect the activity and take preventative action quickly. These AUSkeys have been cancelled and we are working with the affected businesses to protect their online security and monitor activity on their accounts.
• Take the following steps to protect your business and to ensure your identity has not been compromised:                                                                                                                        
• Check access manager to understand who in your business has AUSkey access and that their level of access is appropriate to their role
• Remove access for employees who no longer work for you                        
• Check the financial institution and contact details you have recorded with us are correct.
• Report any unknown or suspicious AUSkeys allocated to your organisation by calling 1300 287 539 between 8.00am and 6.00pm, Monday to Friday.
• It is good business practice to conduct these checks on a regular basis.
