Just got a call from this number, sounded like a recorded message in Chinese.
I had no idea what they were saying - I feel like such a disappointment to my parents.

Caller: A male scammer who spoke mandarin

My son received a call in Mandarin from someone claiming to be from the Chinese Embassy in Sydney. They said a critical issue needs to be discussed and the embassy would call again today. The concerning part is, the caller knew my son's last name.

We looked up the number online and it appears to be the real number for the Chinese visa application center.

We're wondering how scammers could potentially make a call appear to come from a legitimate number. That’s crazy.

Scammers! How can i report to police?

They're scammers. They've already tried to scam my colleague. It appears they were, at first, attempting to scam Chinese Australians but now they're out for anyone to fall for it. In fact, I believe they have been able to scam millions of Australian dollars. Be careful. If you get a voicemail with a lady saying she is from DHL China or something similar in mandarin, avoid at all costs. If you believe you do have a package in China that needs tending to, hang up and call the appropriate courier. That way you'll know for sure you are talking to the right people.

As soon as we signed up for Amaysim I got this call - Chinese recording going on for a long time. I hung up

Caller: (02) 9475 8800

phone rang, appearred as chinese visa application service center, claiming that you sent an illegal package from AU to china, try to avoid tax. they provided you all the information, case#, his name, his direct number and etc. he even connects you to china police, he refer you to official china police website and clarified themselves that they are not scammer. after that, they rang you from other number and maybe start to ask for ID and etc.

Caller: Scam ATO recording

Block this caller scam ATO message

Caller: I don't really know

I just got a call this evening, it came from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. I didn't answer the phone call but received a voicemail in Chinese with some English speech (these voicemails never had English speech before but it's very muffled and unclear...). In the English speech, they said something like my Visa is cancelled or something though I am an Australian citizen and it's a scam so don't fall for it!!

Caller: Scammers with recorded message

Recorded message that they are Vodafone and there has been illegal activity on my phone and service would be cut in 2 hours. To stop press 0.
I then went on to say same message in Chinese.

Got a call from this number at 6.15 pm. After picking up, only could listen to an automated voice in English first, then Mandarin. High suss of a scam, I have been getting calls like this nearly once every 1 or 2 days... I googled and funny that this number is listed as an Chinese visa application centre in Sydney. Still feeling so sick of it, who would call at 6.15pm for visa matters, dialed 9 to speak to someone and asked them to F off.

Recorded message saying something wrong with my vehicle says press 9 and then a message in Chinese.

Is a scam targeting the Australian Chinese community recorded message says its from the Chinese Consulate, and their passport / visa is about to be cancelled if they don't pay up.

Stop calling me.

in an Asian language- unintelligable
