Hi i also got a call this morning.they are absolutely stupid and fake ppl. Idiots!!

The exact same thing just happened to me, they said that my bank had overcharged me $4851 and that the Australian Government would refund this money to me if I called their manager on this number and ask for Mark Jones with my reference number being RS110. They also said that the Australian Government hired Indian lawyers because they were cheaper than Australian ones and that I must go to Western Union and pay $199 in order to receive the payment. I politely declined and said I didn't wish to reclaim the money. No questions asked they just said okay thank you and hung up.

My partner also had a call said the government had taken money from his credit card and they wanted to repay it I explained that if it had come from our credit card that would have been shown on the statement but he tried to tell me that it wasn't the case.  Anyway he also got told to Mark Jones on that same no. we have tried but no answer or engaged is this a fraud.  Same amount $4851.Funny that.

Just had a call this morning from a lady who asked me to verify my identity and call back Mark Jones on (02) 8005 4979 same details as other comments except they said a Gavin Rogers would deliver my cheque number 22950 within 2 hrs of me sending money to western union acc. She said the fee was for lawyers fees and this was the only way it could be paid. I said i think this is a scam and she said OK so you want me to cancel your application I said yes thanks and started to say that it was unfair to treat people like this and she hung up on me!!!

Yes, I had the same call!!! You know they are calling from overseas? Government orginazation?! Doubt that!
