Caller: Someone British

Clearly a pest, hung up when it took them 15 seconds to say hi

Scam calling private numbers

Caller: Melbourne Advance

Same as others. No phone number displayed. Asked age & I asked who Melb Advance is she asked am I over it under 58 again. I asked who Melb Advance is again & they hung up.

Caller: Melbourne Advance

Same as above - a caller named Jasmine from Melbourne Advance attempting to ask questions relating to how you are coping financially with the pandemic. I've received several calls previously - this one had "No Caller ID" displayed on my mobile.
Not sure if its a recording as I now say "not interested.go away" as soon as the monologue starts. The voice doesn't stop, so presumably its a recording.

Caller: melbourne advanced

now calling from a private number this is the 5th or 6th call I have received, I now believe it is a recording that prompts responses depending on what I say, I keep asking about where they are calling from and it loops back to the start then hangs up on me
'are you over or under 58'

Caller: Melbourne Advance, Jasmine

It is a telephone scam. I had a telephone call on my mobile on Wednesday 18 November 2020 at 11:38am. The caller name was Jasmine and was calling from Melbourne Advance, asking if I was over or under 50 yo? My reply was: "F__K YOU, YOU SCAMMING B_TCH! " She hung up.

I contacted Melbourne Advance, Customer Relations and they advised that "These calls are not from our Advance staff, the numbers below are not part of our company." Whether or notvthis is true I do not know.

The telephone scammers have been using are telephone numbers (03) 9118 2048, (03) 7038 6976, (03) 7038 6920. They had called me several times, However, last couple of times they rang myself they telephoned from a Private number and still claimed they were from Melbourne Advance.

I had the exact same call from a private number

Caller: Jasmine

This would be the 5th time I have received a call where I interrupt Jasmin's spiel and ask her for her mobile number so I can call her back from a private number #31#. Jasmin still asks if over or under 58 and told her not to call back and hung up. I have been polite until now as understand the job of cold calling but repeats will now get aggression from myself, I hope the calling software she knows how to flag my number not to call or you might find on news" Cold caller dies of hear attack from irate mobile user"

Caller: Melbourne Advance

yep, said it was a survey about the pandemic, launched into the first question about whether I was over or under 58. When i asked who Melbourne Advance was they hung up. Dodgy

Caller: Jasmine, robocall from Melbourne Advance

Now calling from a private number which is against Telco Act for such calls so definitely a scam and someone is gaining personal information.
Report every instance.

Caller: "Susie Gram"

Answered the call. Was addressed by my first name. I sad the same thing I say to all telemarketing calls:

Before I continue this conversation, under the Australian Telecommunications Industry Standards 2017, section 9 paragraph 4, you are obliged to provide me with the following information: your full name, your managers full name, a contact number or email for your manager.

She hung up soon afterwards

Caller: Jasmine

It's a robo call not a real person and they now ring using a private number so you can't block it. So frik'n annoying because I've been getting calls since June, sometimes once a week for 4 weeks in a row.

Caller: Melbourne Advance

They are getting smart to hide their number now, annoying!

Caller: Melbourne Advance

Had rung me and I blocked it. Now it rings me from a 'Private Number' so am unable to block. It is a recorded message. When it started asking me questions and I said that I wasn't interested it returned to asking the first set of questions again. Have rung me numerous times but I can block it! Very annoying.

Caller: Melbourne Advance

Very rude. Caller requested attention to help with survey to understand how the pandemic was affecting people and their finances, asked if I am over or under 58, I sad "over" and this sharp short "thanks"with a hang up click. What is this?

Caller: Fraudster/scammer

'Jasmine' from 'Melbourne Advance' keeps calling, but now from a private number. Funny how they are all named Jasmine...asks about how I am coping financially, so just yell at them to f*ck off...sick of these frauds

covid 19 survey i asked to be removed from their mail list they just hung up

Caller: Jasmine - Melbourne Advance

I got exactly the same call script from this ROBOCALL, however from a Private No. - looked up the company ABN / ARBN
NO SUCH REGISTERED BUSINESS NAME!! - this is SPAM / BLOCK.....

report to Telco Industry Ombudsman..... there are HIGH VOLUMES of complaints for robocalls from this 'fake company' posted all over the internet........do not give any details.

Caller: Melbourne advance?

Scam caller that continually calls, now calling off private number. I just hang up

Caller: Melbourne Advance - whoever that is

I got the exact same message to but it came from a private number.
