Caller wanted to survey on Canberra transport use. Some personal questions (asking name, phone etc), so potentially information phishing/scam..

Called me on Saturday, didn't leave message. When I call this number back, I couldn't get connected. Just not ringing at all.

Called my phone but hung up on me. I immediately called back 20 times but no one pick up. Picked up a few times but keep quited. Next morning I tried again but this number is not connected. I am suspecting this is a number from Computer that program to harass people. I suggest everyone should just block this number from calling in your number

I called back number (02) 9194 0710 rang once then goes to busy tone.

Caller said doing a survey for the local council re the environment. I asked if he could email me or call back in the morning. Caller daid they only place calls between 4pm and 8pm. Said he'd leave a message for next shift to call me back.

I have blocked number.

Called at 7:20 pm, I suspected to be a spam call and didn't answer no voice message left.
Do not answer this no and block it.

Caller: (02) 9194 0710

They called me and said they were conduction council research for the city of parramatta. The guy sounded way to young, id say around 18-22. I could smell the bullsh*t as soon as he started talking

It's suss... when's the government going to do something about these dodgey numbers and people running them for personal information.

Caller: (Potentially) Taverner Research Group

Did further search and found this - https://taverner.com.au/current-surveys-by-taverner/ by taverner which lists the various numbers they will contact you from.

Apparently they can bypass the Do Not Call Register, which my phone number is registered on so it most likely would be them

Caller: Claimed to be ku ring gai council

Said they wanna email me a survey

Been calling me for weeks. Blocked the number and keep getting missed call msgs from them after blocking.

Have had several calls from this number at various times of the day and night, but no messages were left. I answered a call today around 2.50pm and a male voice said he had a missed call from my number. I had not made any calls to anyone today so very dubious. I have blocked this number.

Told me that they represented my local council and wanted private information to confirm against my rates notice. I asked them which council did they work for and they couldn’t tell me and it was five o’clock in the afternoon. I then told them they couldn’t possibly work for the council as it’s after hours. They hung up. SPAM! Block this number.

Market research on behalf of Department of Fisheries.

Scam , do not answer

Caller: Local Council

A lady calls at 7:30pm saying she is conducting a survey for the council.
I asked her why she is calling at this time if she was working for the council.
She said she will call back tomorrow around 3pm!!
Better block this number!!

Scammers

Rang back and got a recorded message saying "You have called ??? research, an accredited Market Research company.

I keep getting calls from this and similar numbers starting recently. Doesn't ring long. I have recently, stupidly given my number to enquire about a free Bitcoin.
