The Inner West Crime Prevention Unit is warning the public of current scams involving payments with iTunes gift cards.
Police have recently seen a number of people coming into stations or ringing up to inform them about phone calls from the Australian Taxation Office asking for payment in iTunes cards.
Some members of the community have gone ahead and bought the iTunes cards before realising that they are being scammed.
Staff at major supermarket stores have also been advised to keep an eye out for persons buying many iTunes cards and to check that they were not being scammed.
Scammers will continue to use trusted brands, including the Australian Taxation Office and utility companies to contact customers and demand payment for fines or overdue accounts.
The letters or phone calls will ask for payment in iTunes or other gift cards and threaten arrest if payment is not made.
