Caller type: Scam call
Location: Australia
Missed a call from this number, thought it was a number I recognised so called back. First time the call connected but no dial tone. Tried again and got a very polite gentleman who told me I'd called "Follow Up Services". I said "Sounds like I'm being scammed." to which he replied "How can you be being scammed from just a phone call, Ma'am?". I just replied "Thank you" and hung up immediately. I've googled Follow Up Services and there are numerous reports of them being an insurance compensation scam. How it seems to operate is you get a missed call from them and when you call back they talk to you about an accident you supposedly had back in 2010 (or similar) for which you are entitled to claim and they talk you through the process and offer to take your case on for absolutely no charge. Not sure how the scam bit works but it's one of those numbers where you pay them to speak to them and the cost is exorbitant. I'm yet to find out if I've somehow been billed for my two very quick calls to them. Thankfully, I didn't allow the call to go for long and I've entered their number as "Do Not Answer" if they call back and try again.

Followup services - i knew who it was because I read here from previous missed calls

so I was armed. They rang today and said they were ringing about a recent accident. I said which one, ive had 7. he said "due to the privacy act I dont have that information" i said "so what are you calling about" and he said "to make sure you get your payment".

yadda yadda dragged it on for longer and eventually they wanted bank details etc. Scum, told them it was a ridiculous scam and a few other choice words

Just had a call from this number
As above
They just cut off
Thanks to ‘reverseaustralia.com’
I’m now Pre warned
Deciding to block caller
Or have a little fun
Or
Ask genuinely for them to refrain...
Waste of good time really..
Think I’ll refeain from the Fun & Block
Sure they’ll then use another number.
Asking nicely to refrain
Doubt that would work

Male with Irish accent querying if I had been or someone in my household had been involved in a vehicle collision in the previous 12 months and stated he was from follow up services. I asked how he obtained that information given it would be subject to Freedom of Information and stated ‘all our data comes from a data house ma’am’. I told him that I would not be discussing those matters over the phone and he hung up without saying anything further.

A ridiculous amount of background noise (itself a red flag) meant I couldn't really hear the caller. She hung up when I said as much. I might have missed a bit of 'fun'. All I heard was something like 'follow-up services ... blah-blah... is that right?'

Knew this was a scam so I asked them to wait a minute whilst I set up the recording the federal police had asked me to do and they hung up very quickly - number now blocked

Ive had a call from same number but when I tried to call it back I get a message the call cannot be connected be wary Ive got my phone blocked for premium calls Im thinking that this may be just that and if your phone inst blocked for premium calls you will get a $14.95 bill as I did once before so I had my carrier block premium calls.

Have had a call from this number a few times over the last few weeks. This time the male with a UK accident said he was from ‘follow up services’, he knew my name and asked if I had experience a road accident in the last 12 months. I told him to stop trying to scam people he said it was not a scam call so I replied don't phone my number again and hung up.

This number is leased worldwide by Symbio Networks. I encourage you to all call them and have a little complain about fraud. This will perhaps make them do something. They can be reached on 1300 789 653 (Australia).
