SCAM: This number rings up with a voice message that I have won VIP Awards and gives the following number 1902 256 895 for us to ring at a min. of $5.00 a call that will take 12 mins min. to claim our reward. It also gives www.viprewardsgroup.com as a contact website.

Got this call tonight and let it play through. In the call, they blatantly lie about attempt to contact you. So I think there are grounds for a real complaint of fraud.
I checked the DNS of their website, which is secret, but it is hosted under Dyn Inc, which is known to be quite a pal of spammers and corrupt phishers. My guess is these guys are laundering money for terrorist groups... perhaps the patriot act should be applied?

same deal they left the same message on my mobile phone, when I called the number they had called from to abuse them about this from my Skype account, you dont get a person just the same message that was left on my mobile

missed the call thank god

Received a call from the same number as well, while I was on the phone trying to sort out some stuff for my uni course that I'm about to start! Thought it was someone calling me about a job that I've applied for, so of course, I answered it. Luckily I'm used to stupid telemarketers and having worked in the contact centre industry before, most places aren't that bad and don't use dodgy techniques! There is also something called the Do Not Call Register, which is legitimate, it stops telemarketers from calling you unless you have an existing business arrangement (e.g. mobile phone with Telstra etc etc) or unless it's a charity or something like that. Not always guaranteed to weed out scams but legitimate businesses aren't allowed to call you after 6 weeks of being registered :)

Got the call on saturday, ignored it, soundy dodgy. how they got my number i don't know. my numbers private. privacy my arse. come on telstra do something about it.

oops!

I recieved call today. As soon as the woman started to talk about $5 pm to get the details I hung up and elected to look on line -obviously a scam - even though I am in a couple of reward schemes. DON"T GET CAUGHT!

Just received the same call from (02) 9379 8163.

Just been scammed....bugger

I received this ridiculous call as well - how can you win when you have not entered or registered - seriously - how stupid do they think we are - go away !!!!!

Yes just received a VIPREWARDSGROUP.COM PRANK call.Thought it was one of the many competitions I entered before Xmas. More fool me...just got taken for a ride. Someone has just made a Merry Christmas out of me! Dont call back 1902 256 895 otherwise you'll be donating your hard earned money as well.

I also received one of these prank calls, unfortunately there are no laws in this country allowing prosecution of these fraudsters, and they know it. These clever little morons have a fisching program, which runs at infanitem, just dialing numbers. When one of these numbers answers, a prerecorded message is played in the hope the receiver will call back. Under Australian law, once you call back, you are deemed to have accepted the terms and conditions, because again, Australian law doesn't require these morons to actually read them to you. If by some miracle, one of these people is caught and prosecuted, some one else steps up to the plate, and bussiness as usual. Food for thought.

Just missed this call , but they left a message what a scam, how the f*ck do they get our numbers

These people should be charged and prosicuited. I have an unlisted pre paid mobile and I want to know how these thieves got my number. PRIVACY!!! WHAT PRIVACY??? What are telstra doing about it???? Sadly those who can least afford it are genually the ones who get caught.

recieved the same call yesterday glad i checked this out first as I wasn't into paying $5.00 a minute

I received a call from 93788163 today too. Sounded dodgy so I just ignored it. But I wonder how they got my number.

Just got this message. Really weird when you have no idea what you entered in the first place to have unclaimed rewards. Luckily i googled it and most of the ones that came up were a dead end then i found this page and I now will put it to rest. I have wasted 5 minutes in total. If i had of tried calling it it would cost about $45 for The 12 minute call or more. Its some kind of app points that you get buy subscribing. No thanks!

I have just recieved the same call, thanks to you guys I wasnt tempted to call..we should spread the word aroung to our friens so thay dont get hooked in...thanks guys...C.

JUST RECEIVED THE CALL.WHEN THERE WAS NO MENTION OF WHAT SORT OF REWARD I WAS TO CLAIM, AND THEN TOLD TO CALL A 1900 NUMBER COSTING $5 A MINUTE FOR UP TO 12 MINUTES, LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING.
