Recorded message started with ‘Please Wait for an important call’ (obviously an auto-dial). Wouldn’t give any details at all. When asked who was calling, they said they couldn’t tell due to privacy reasons, then hung up. Obvious scam. Reporting to ACMA.

This is a scam I had to pay off a fee from eBay 2 years ago, the company that collected the money for pay pal sent me a letter telling me I had to pay 50 dollars blah blah My point is that the letter was legit, had my name address eBay account everything, these guys messaged me saying they have something urgent to talk to me about so I ignored them, if there the real chi g they won't spam you with calls and messages asking for your details, they would have them all ready

Message: Hi, we have been trying to contact you to discuss an important matter. Please call Dun & Bradstreet on 1300 171 592 quoting a ref number.
I looked up the company website and rang the number 132333. The man who answered said that yes the message is from them but he required my name firstly. Turns out they had a wrong number! I've blocked it. He was off hand that I said I was upset to receive such a text and asked me haven't I ever phoned a wrong number?

Called Dun and Bradstreet no debts owed complete scam

claiming to be dun & bradstreet sent me a message saying to call 1300 663 408 and quote ref .. I called them and she asked for my name I said I don't need to disclose that information and she basically said visit our website and hanged out .. seems like a scam to me

Bugging me for a non-existent debt. Will call on landline and mobile, often switch numbers. Never leave voice messages, only text messages. Annoying and harassing. Do not answer them, and if you do answer, hang up immediately.

Hi, please call 1300 781 401 immediately to discuss an important matter. Quote ******* when you call. Thank you, Dun & Bradstreet.

Not possible for me to have debt. All bills are definitely paid & items are ALWAYS purchased in full, not finance.

Got the same message today. This is indeed Dun & Bradstreet debt collectors so not necessarily a scam however these useless pricks have contacted us 3 times about an ambulance charge for my late son which has already been resolved. They insisted that they needed to talk to him directly and couldn't understand why I wouldn't put him on the phone! I absolutely lost it!!!!!!!

Dunn and Bradstreet, debt collection vultures and general low life scum, non stop calls and I don't have any debts but they won't listen.

Received similar text message Hi, we have been trying to contact you to discuss an important matter. Please call Dun and Bradstreet on 1300 224 131 and quote 65229288.
have no outstanding debts that I am aware of.

Received this text just before...

XXXX, please call 1300 224 131 immediately to discuss an important matter. Quote xxxx when you call. Thank you, Dun & Bradstreet.

After reading all these comments I’m too scared to call and confirm if it’s a scam or not

Why would they purchase a $50 debt? More likely they monitor & harvest legit creditor sms messages.

So I researched the weblink they gave me (https://www.whois.com/whois/rchtl.com). Below is the info...

Had a text message that read "Hi, we have been trying to contact you to discuss an important matter. Please call Dun & Bradstreet on 1300 971 286 quoting 29475949 immediately".
Needless to say it stinks of a scam. More like call this number and we'll talk you into giving us your details and we'll use your identity. Blocked.

Received a text n regards to a debt referred for recovering from Roam Tolling, I know this is definitely not mine so fairly certain it is a scam. Signed off from Dun & Bradstreet with a link to pay the account.

Dun & Bradstreet, financial collections. Not spam, generally only calling if their company has purchases your debt

I have just had the same text come through, January 2018.
Thanks to your message, I didn't reply.

Hi, we have a debt referred for recovery.

Debt due to: ALINTA ENERGY RETAIL SALES PTY LTD
