Asked me answer a survey on my satisfaction with Maribyrnong Council.
I'm don't in that council shire nor do I live in the state of Victoria

I called back number (03) 9272 4600 spoke to a woman who said I've reached Metropolis Research.

Caller: Monash council

They wanted me do a survey, so the scam is still going

I was actually using my phone and this number (03) 9272 4600 popped up, it rang for less than 2 seconds and then hung up. I was left with the feeling that my mobile phone number was being checked out to see if it was connected. I’ve noticed that this sort of thing happens before a follow up SMS or scam email comes in from different sources. So I blocked the slimy low life scum suckers immediately!

Caller: hobart city council

Asked me to do a survey for Hobart City Council.

didn't answer. I don't live in Monash area too. probably scammer.

Caller: Metropolis Research Pty Limited

I have no idea what this was but asked if I was happy with Darebin Council and wanted to do a survey. I was like no everything's fine, I don't want to do a survey thanks and hung up.

Market research on behalf of councils (Darebin, but from comments other councils too). Seemed to be genuine questions about council services. They said councils are obliged to collect information about how satisfied constituents are with their services.

Had a missed call from this number. it is registered to Metropolis Research pty ltd, part of RMIT University according to website

Supposedly calling from Port Phillip council. Not my council.
Not the first time. Blocked now.

Seems a scam,. When call blocked , they did not leave a message.

Caller: Monash Research

Didn't answer, no voice-mail was left.

I had a call from a Sri Lankan sounding man who said he was from Maribyrnong Council to ask some questions. I have never in 35 years lived in this area - don't know where they got my number but I hung up on him. BEWARD SCAM

My phone rang with this number this afternoon, I didn't even have time to get it out of my pocket when they hung up. I wouldn't have answered anyway, not recognising the number

Caller: (03) 9272 4600

Said they are from my local council. To do a survry for 10 mins. I declined.

Caller: Some scammer pretend to be council

Call on behalf of bayside city council. Sounds fishy and call in late hours.

Asked to do a survey for Maribyrnong City Council. Haven't lived there for over 3 years.

Caller: Metropolis Research

I just had a call from this number and they said the same thing. I had a call last week from a private number also calling on behalf of this council.
I haven’t lived in Maribyrnong for over 3 years and have again asked the council to take me off the list.
I am on the do not call register so not sure how they got my number, but the data must be very old if they’re calling people who don’t live there anymore.

Caller: Metropolis Research on behalf of Monash City Council

I have returned the call and was asked to do a survey

I had a call from 03 9272 4600. A woman said to me “I’m calling on behalf of Monash City Council “ then suddenly hung up the phone.
