The above number called my mobile for 8 seconds then hung up. I checked online about this number and found no information. Possibly someone who needs to show evidence that they've called my (& possibly many other) numbers to show their boss they are trying to drum up business. I can't think of any other reason (other than maybe they're bored and stupid).

If you're concerned that a phone call, SMS, voicemail or email claiming to be from the ATO is not genuine, don’t reply to it. Instead you should either:

phone ATO on 1800 008 540

An example of this type of scam is available below:
