I have a random deposit in my bank account this morning of $45.67 as Direct Credit ATO ๐Ÿค” feels incredibly scammy

I've had those before and usually followed with a mailed letter. Might be some tax adjustment or similar.

[โ€“] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

Hmm ok good to know. Thanks

I just saw on the news the ATO has issued a reward to those that have paid their HECS debt on time.

[โ€“] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh that might be me. I finished paying off my HECS this year (was for like one semester study lol)

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Bang. Problem solved. Go and enjoy those hot chooks.

That's nearly enough for a slab.

My mind went to: approximately 3.3333 Coles roast chickens.

[โ€“] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Check on myGov or call them. I got something similar ages ago for a couple of dollars, thought it was a scam, but turned out to be a refund because I paid my tax debt early

E: just saw you checked in myGov already.. I think it takes a bit to update, and the credit comes in advance
