Ringing me 3 times a day claiming to be AusPol and asking for $330 for an advert in the Streetsmart Handbook. I've rung the real AusPol and they say these people are scammers and are investigating it. I'm tired of blocking all the numbers they call me from. They seem to have a never ending supply of phone numbers. Their false ABN number differs from the real AusPol ABN by just 1 digit. The fakers ABN is 83146901797 and the real AusPol ABN is 86146901797. So if you're in any doubt about who is asking you for money, the first thing you can check is the ABN numbers and then report them to Scamwatch on 1300 795 995. - ToniFebruary 23, 2016ScamAustralia

Asking for donations - Small Business Owner - ChrisFebruary 14, 2018Scam callUnited States
This time these mofos called me from a Blocked Number. Some young bloke started the call with "Hi mate how're you going". Very professional! NOT. All I heard was "calling from Victoria Police" and I started paying attention. I thought it was a customer at first. He had my business name and number. I asked them where they got my number from. He stuttered a bit and then said it's from "a list". I wish I had Googled this page when I was on the phone. Definite scam asking me to advertise and pay. I said I cannot afford it. He told me I wouldn't have to pay until end of June.. Hahaa! Yeah right.. Watch out for these guys. - TraceyMay 1, 2017UnknownAustralia

This company has been chasing me for the last 2 years. Threating garnishee orders and the lot. Its a scam. Do not feel threatened by them, they cant to anything to you. Just ignore emails and block the numbers they call you off. Received an email today again ( first one in the last 4 months) - JayMarch 8, 2017ScamAustralia

Ringing at least once a day, pretending to be the Federal Police. Now they have threatened to get a debt collector after me. A guy named Dewey Sloan even said 'I won't stop calling' when I asked him nicely to please leave us alone!! - JASONJanuary 5, 2017UnknownAustralia

They sent a debt collection agency after me. I rang ASIC as this agency is in liquidation, they gave me the contact details of the court appointed liquidator and contacted him direct. - MichaelAugust 24, 2016UnknownAustralia
Hi Marie, I'm getting harassed to pay too. What ended up happening with yours? I'm worried. - MarieJuly 17, 2016ScamAustralia
They are harassing me to pay at the moment, when they rang and said they were federal police I felt pushed into it. I explained to them I'm a single mum with 4 kids. Almost immediately following that call I received more from Ambulance and Fire and emergency services wanting the same thing. - Victorian BuilderJuly 6, 2016ScamAustralia
Got 15 mins of claiming to be helping a kids program in school against drugs and a part of the AusPol program. He got my number from the web as I advertise. Mobile number also. Got the same routine about 3 years ago and he got aggressive when I wanted more info. They are trying to get advertising for their mag. Stay away. - KApril 20, 2016ScamAustralia

Supposedly from Auspol, asking for donations. Mentioned relevant suburb to try and coax more information from me. Rang Auspol and confirmed they've never heard of this person named 'Gary'. They let me know lots of people have already called in to see if it was legit. They're currently investigating. - Bob @ TusmoreFebruary 16, 2016Non-profit OrganizationAustralia
