Caller: “Rita”

Heavy Indian accent, apparently an insurance claim was settled and I was getting money, but she didn’t know my name. Spent a few mins convincing her there was a special place in hell for her and she hung up in tears

Caller: 8003 4188

What is happening to this great country of ours, when these scams are just allowed to continue. Perhaps it’s time to bring all our telecommunications back on our own shores and have Australians work and run them, and not be offshore and run by those that want to scam us and steal from us.

I received a call from a female stating they had received a notification that I had been involved in a car accident within the last 2 years and was wanting more information from me. When I told her to provide the details of the claim she couldn’t provide any. I hung up on her after telling her I knew it was a scam.

Caller: claims management

Rang to say they're ringing me because I've been involved in a vehicle accident in the last 2 years, when I said no I hadn't, she said oh ok, and hung up.

WARNING: There is a man with a heavy accent phoning flood affected areas, claiming to be collecting for flood relief. The number he is using to make these calls is (02) 8003 7513. He will tell you mumbo-jumbo about how you will get heaps of money in return. Please warn your elderly friends and family and anyone else you know NOT to give any details to these scammers

Thanks Jodie, I didnt either. Had 1 today claimed to be from Aust Gov wanting to give solar rebate. Had our name & Address, bit scary how they get thees details, But i hung up.

I also recieved a call from that number today and I called back assuming it was a scam but to was curious! They kept putting me on hold when I called back and they said they were talking to there supervisers, the guy said he would call back in 15mins as the supervisers were all busy, just b4 that though he asked what I would use the money for and I said to pay off debt and thats when he said they would call back. I haven't heard back from them! I don't understand how these companies get my number as it is private, it is driving me insane! Quite often get calls and they just hang up and then on a seperate day will recieve a phone call from some company offering something!

I got this call today from a man who i could hardly understand. i did not call the number.
