Indian accent guy called me from this number saying I ordered parcel with full of sugar, and other drugs and that package is held on the border.
They knew my full details, email and old address that I lived in 3 years ago.
I asked him to wrap up everything and send it to my email and he said He can’t..(?) That’s what Government usually does. Also, in the Australia law they cannot record any voice call without the permission from us.
From start to the end, piece of sh*t and They don’t even know what immigration department is about. SCAM SCAM SCAM

Caller: Someone with a Filipino accent saying they are from the Australian Border Force

They asked me if Iam (my real name) saying they have a package in my name from China. I told her its a scam. She said it's not, and the call is being recorded. She called me again, and I didn't pick up. I'm reluctant to pick up any landline calls now. So full of it. I think they pick on me as I have an Asian surname. So worrying. Some of the posts here sound very familar.

A Female with Indian accent called me claiming that I have an illegal parcel but the definitely a scam since she is not calling me by my correct legal name but the alias name I've been using on different shopping websites.

I recommend using different names online shopping if not require legal names and you'll know which twat have your info leaked.
