Telemarketer - Indian operator asking for injury insurance.

Calling about a car accident that never occurred.

Caller: Male with Indian accent

He said he was from "accident compensation" and that I had been in an accident recently.
I asked for further details - date of accident, what car ?
He couldn't answer these questions, just repeated his opening line again.
Obviously a scam call, because I've never been involved in an accident !

Caller: my Optus number was hacked by this scamming orgainisation

My phone started rang none stop and received like literarily more than 300 calls from real people asking me if I rang them about the car accident. and at the same time receiving messages/voicemails from the real people asking me the same question.

I picked up as many as I could and explain to them I did not make the call some freaking scammer took my number and made these calls.

my phone was ringing like every second I could not even make the call to Optus to ask them to stop this and get my number sorted and fix it. This number was used for 9 years, and i told them you need to fix this for me as i dont wanna change my phone number.

I rang the police to report this, they said no problem we have a record here that you have reported the incident, please contact ur phone provider to resolve the issue.

rang Optus, Sadly Optus said we cant help you all be can do is stop the service and change ur phone number.

I have never had this issue before when i was with Vodafone for Nine years, this year i changed to Optus and not this.

Not only this company is not secured, and when your number is hacked they absolutely can do nothing for you.

I guess this is how the scammers get real people's number.

DISAPOINTED with OPTUS, and really doub how they secure ur personal details

Kept insisting he was calling from MVA Motor Vehicle Accident wanted to know if I had been in an accident saying I could claim up to $5000 I hung up on him after I told him my next call is to the police and i will give them his number

enquring about nonexistent car crash

No one spoke but background noise sounded like a call centre

Caller: lady with chinese accent

asked for name and address to confirm insurance details. She did have limited information about RACQ details which means they had an access to RACQ data base. This is a serious crime ... they wanted details for accessing bank accounts. DO NOT answer their questions with YES at any stage!

Caller: 0433 902 870 SAME AS ABOVE

AFTER HELLO (HAD MY NAME) SAID HE WAS CALLING ABOUT MY RECENT CAR ACCIDENT - CLEARLY A SCAM AS i DONT EVEN DRIVE

BEWARE EVERYONE
