Said they're from the ABC Group. Said I entered a competition to win a $1000 Coles Myer voucher last year and I won a secondary prize - an android tablet. Bloody scammers :(

I received a call from (02) 8199 7690 saying they were calling from 'True Solutions Australia' and it is the same scam - the man said I had completed a survey a few months ago and had won a financial freedom package and a $50 coles voucher. They knew my first and last name and asked if I was between 28-50. They asked if I had a partner and if he was in the same age bracket. They then asked my profession, when I said lawyer they could not get off the phone quick enough.
Online 'True Solutions Australia' does not appear to exist. I have no recollection of any the purported survey. They have called me three times a day since Monday. Hopefully they won't call again.

I received the same call as people above, Pat sounds like any normal aussie mum you would have encountered before so she feels really trustworthy. She said that I'd entered a survey in April (it's November now), I'd won a tablet and the 'financial freedom package' and went into getting all my details. I smelled a rat when she said 'and you've put your age down as 28-68' which is so broad, no survey has that as an option. I asked her for the website and they've got a super basic one – they've really thought of everything haha.
I'm not even sure if this is a scam, but if it's not, this is definitely the wrong way to get business.

Just got a call, couldn't get which company he was from but told me I'd won an Android tablet. I couldnt remember doing any survey but he said (very convincing) that many people dont remember entering. He wanted to know if i was a home owner and when I said we rent, he was off the phone pretty quick. Also wanted to confirm address. How do these bloody people sleep at night!!?? agrrr!!

I made an appointment for the 45 minute consultation and it was cancelled. They rang back this morning and I put them off, then i googled everything. I got a call from a mobile 0431 796 672) so I have texted to ask for the Android to be sent to me. If they bite I will have a little fun.

I got the same call but came in from number (02) 9131 4030... I was speaking to Aaron and dropped the call after they ran out of confirming known facts about me and started asking questions for which they did not have info already. Amazing how many of us win the second prize of an Android tablet...

I had a call from this same group, with the same story, free tablet etc. & all the questions. Were there any long term negative outcomes from this! Feeling paranoid, maybe they hacked my phone or something!

Got a call telling me I'd won an android tablet and a free financial consultation. I asked them to send me an email but sent me an sms instead. I felt for it at first, as the guy I had on the phone was very convincing.

I got a call from similar number 8051 5847 saying I'd won an android tablet and a free consultation for the Financial Freedom Package. Thought it might have been legit as I do enter competitions from time to time. So glad I Googled this! They are supposedly calling me back on Monday to set up an appointment...

Also got the call saying I had come 2nd prize (1st prize $1000 Coles voucher) to win a android tablet and a Financial Freedom Package. He asked lots of questions about whether I have a mortgage, credit card status, etc but I refused to answer, saying I have a personal policy not to give any financial information to people I don't know. Kept pushing to book a meeting with the 'Financial Freedom Package' person but got annoyed when I said I am already satisfied with my current financial advice and that needing to book a meeting to receive a prize sounds very strange and probably dodgy. I asked if the tablet could be posted to save everyone's time and he said that clearly I don't understand the terms & conditions of the prize and hung up on me. Actually I think I understand the Ts&Cs quite well - there are none & it's a scam. I'm just sad I couldnt get him to repeat 'Financial Freedom Package' a few more times.
