Caller: Scammer

Mandarin speaker who knows your name probably other personal info. They faked this phone number. Trying to scam you. Bad people exist in this world. Hope they all get caught soon.

Caller: Department of home affairs Canberra

This number is a safe and neutral number it's the Department of home affairs in Canberra, can't understand that a website like this cannot identify its number what the f*ck.

Not Taiwan accent. Definitely Chinese from China

A lady claimed her name is Robin and gives a job id and document id saying I am involvedwith immigration documents fraud..A bit South American accent and insisting me to go to the officer in 2 hours otherwise I will be fined. She even asks me to check online for the number called to verify. Too bizarre and scammer.

this number says from Australian Immigration office, knows your name, its fraud number , whatever they say dont trust it.

Caller: Immigration Department

Mandarin speaker with strong Taiwan accent. Knows your name. Pretend to be immigration Department officer. Telling you will be restricted to leave the country within 2 hours, due to fake passport found in China, etc. Rubbish.

Scam call for today saying my information is leaking in China. my passport is with other nonsense people. be mindful of what they said.

Just received a call today. Mandarin speaker knows my name, but cannot speak English. This number is searched as the Department of home affairs in Canberra, but why cannot speak English? Careful to answer this number.

Asian caller with knowledge of full name, claimed to be from Australian border force who had been contacted by Chinese customs in guangzhou about a package that has been held purportedly containing meth when declared as sugar... Phone number comes up as Customs Broker - 365 Freight and Customs PTY LTD on Android phone and caller tried to fake legitimacy by asking to check / confirm the number.

I have contacted the High Commission of Australia, regarding the calls coming from this number. And they have confirmed it is a scam call. They will try to contact people who have a name that sounds Asian.
The scam using a VOIP redirection to pretend that the number is an official Australian Number. If you call the number you will get the correct department, however if the number is calling you, then it could be a digital number generated from elsewhere. If they are trying to make out you have done something illegal, or otherwise, please note that the official australian government departments don't do this. And if you have done something illegal, you will have a police officer at your front door, thats how it works in Australia.

The call seems to be made using an auto dialler, which beeps as soon as I pick up.

The caller, in Indian accent, claims to be from Australian Border Force. Claiming I (using my name) have issues with immigration.

Indian accent English speaker, know your name, announced himself Australian Immigration.

Caller: Department of home affairs Canberra

This number is real but the speaker in the phone call is a scammer. A man speaking Mandarin, with what sounded like a Taiwanese accent, told me that I had sent an undeclared and illegal package from China and that I was in breach of international law. This man knew my surname, but I am not sure if he knew my full name. When I asked him to confirm if he was immigration and asked him for his full address, he got annoyed and hung up immediately. f*cking scammer! Rubbish! The government department will not call you directly and will not speak Mandarin! Go to the hell scammer!

Caller: Government department

Caller: I don’t know

Several calls from them, strong Taiwan accents, know your name
