92yo woman scammed out of fake back taxes

A 92-year-old woman has been scammed out of thousands of dollars in fake back taxes in South Australia.

The victim was targeted by telephone scammers claiming she owed the Australian Taxation Office $30,000, and was threatened with arrest and more fines if she didn't pay, police say.

The woman, from Victor Harbor south of Adelaide, ended up depositing thousands of dollars into two scammers' bank accounts.
