There are two tax collectors mentioned by name in The Bible. The one that became one of the 12 Apostles was Matthew (also called Levi). The other was named Zacchaeus (Luke 19).

Is it true to say that tax collector 's were treated as social outcast?

I'm assuming (since the question is posted under the religion section) you are referring to the tax collectors in the Bible. The answer is yes. The Jews did not like tax collectors because they a) represented a foreign government and foreign leadership and b) took their money. Stories from the Bible like Zacchaeus show the generally poor opinion the Hebrews had of tax collectors. In other passages, Jesus is criticized by the religious leaders for associating with tax collectors and sinners.
