I had the pleasure of calling ATO and waiting for just under 20 minutes when a lovely lady picked up the phone and inquired if I am calling the Australian Tax Office; not informing that "this is the ATO"; but inquiring whether I am looking for ATO or not.
Anyways, I wasn't sure if they had my current bank account details so after going through the usual security check, I ask her, is "111-222-333" the account number you have, and she replies in the green :) I, being a nerd, request her if she could repeat the number for me please, to which she replies "Sorry, we are not authorized to give out the account number over the phone". WOW!!!!
preach on, sista!
