Just had a call then from them saying they were from the institute of Policing or something?! It was a NZ lady. Said how impressed she was with my business blah blah, I just said well you're welcome to send me any information, asked for my email address, and as soon as I started giving it to her she hung up. Obviously wanted money off me there and then.

Police dont work for the tax department. they are either trying to get neighborhood watch up, or selling advertising in their diary. the diary is good because you leave it in your car ( and though itsd not official) when cops see it they tend to leave your car alone.

I have had many calls from this number, always from police department wanting to sell advertising in their quarterly news letter. Always has a great deal for me. I string them along for like 20 minutes, make them feel they are getting a sale and then ohh not the line starts to crackle. and then I hang up. I may swell waste their time if they are trying to scam me

I got a call from this number yesterday, same story as many above. Claimed to be from the police in some way and wanting money. Very sus.

He called me asking if I was the owner of my business I advertise through FB, then they started ranting on about a police function or something (I was half asleep) then said something about wanting small businesses to stick together, then when I mentioned its only a side job they easily said no worries and hung up. Not sure if it's a sneaky way to sus out how much I was earning coz I'm not paying tax because I'm not registered.

Got a call today from this number - couldn't even pronounce our business name. This is the second call, another male called the first time (from 0431 454 686), started asking questions, but I asked him back questions too, that's when he hung up. 2 separate guys, 2 separate numbers.
Have referred both to local police.

He made out he was with the Police. Used an "authority" type voice. Garbled on about a police function of some kind and a magazine. When I asked for info to be sent to me he hung up....there is no call back as it hangs up straight away. I told the police about it.

Don't deal with this guy. A sham.
