Caller: Scammer

Mandarin speaker who knows your name probably other personal info. They faked this phone number. Trying to scam you. Bad people exist in this world. Hope they all get caught soon.

I have contacted the High Commission of Australia, regarding the calls coming from this number. And they have confirmed it is a scam call. They will try to contact people who have a name that sounds Asian.
The scam using a VOIP redirection to pretend that the number is an official Australian Number. If you call the number you will get the correct department, however if the number is calling you, then it could be a digital number generated from elsewhere. If they are trying to make out you have done something illegal, or otherwise, please note that the official australian government departments don't do this. And if you have done something illegal, you will have a police officer at your front door, thats how it works in Australia.

I received a call from this number this morning. This scammer upgraded their staff to those who speak English with a bit of Southeast Asian accent. However, it was hard to understand what the lady was saying at first time, I said could you please write down your request and send it by email as I don't know what you are requesting. She said it was an emergency call, and our calls would be recorded bla bla bla. Finally, I understand her meaning. the lady said I had a package from China containing something illegal bla bla bla. I said so what is the resolution, she said she would ask her manager and let me hold...Scammer indeed!!! Be careful everyone! They upgraded with English speakers!!!!!

Asian caller with knowledge of full name, claimed to be from Australian border force who had been contacted by Chinese customs in guangzhou about a package that has been held purportedly containing meth when declared as sugar... Phone number comes up as Customs Broker - 365 Freight and Customs PTY LTD on Android phone and caller tried to fake legitimacy by asking to check / confirm the number.

Caller: Department of home affairs Canberra

This number is a safe and neutral number it's the Department of home affairs in Canberra, can't understand that a website like this cannot identify its number what the f*ck.

this number says from Australian Immigration office, knows your name, its fraud number , whatever they say dont trust it.

Just received a call today. Mandarin speaker knows my name, but cannot speak English. This number is searched as the Department of home affairs in Canberra, but why cannot speak English? Careful to answer this number.

I got 2 calls yesterday from (02) 6196 0196, thought they were from the Department of Immigrations. Called them to clarify and was told no notes. So guessing they were scams.

Scammer. Saying I have a luggage something. Nonsense anyway.

A lady claimed her name is Robin and gives a job id and document id saying I am involvedwith immigration documents fraud..A bit South American accent and insisting me to go to the officer in 2 hours otherwise I will be fined. She even asks me to check online for the number called to verify. Too bizarre and scammer.
