I am unaware of what kind of call this was, but they said something about my mother's tax being suspended and she was going to go to jail, they then suggested us to press one. My mother hung up on the caller and told me they were going to hack her phone if she pressed one. The audio sounded as if it was playing from another device like a laptop speaker, not gonna lie it sounded like taking out the trash. But if you know anything about this please inform me.

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:
