I have had several calls from this number even after blocking it. An Asian sounding woman and then an Indian sounding male they ask for me by name .y answer has been I did not know Janet. Last time I answered "Australian Federal Police, Sergeant Walsh how can I help you? The man hung up immediately.

Comes up as a number from Anabranch NSW. They sound Indian. They say “is this (my name)?” and then hang up. Obviously know my name because they’re calling my business number. But they have used so many different phone numbers, but they’re all saying Anabranch. Have seen comments on other numbers they use. They’re targeting heaps of people. Don’t know what they’re doing it for. I keep blocking them but they keep calling. Frustrating.

On searching this phone number it is on a list of known spam,scam,phishing etc,etc,Block, report

scam caller, Victorian area code but caller ID says located in Anabranch NSW.
BLOCKED

(03) 4050 8515: Scam call. Spoofed number from overseas. Indian boiler room operation. As is typical for scammers, calls after hours, towards the end of a week, when people perhaps are less guarded.

Our Telcos really need to do more on this issue: https://www.acma.gov.au/calling-line-identification-cli-overstamping-and-spoofing

Caller: Indian speaker

Free Victoria energy monitor scheme. Avoid any numbers that start with 4050.....

I've received 2 calls from this number. One on 15th December 2022, and one today, 24th January 2023. Both times my phone has recognised this number as a spam call and blocked it from coming thru to my phone. All I get is the notification that I missed a call from this number and no message was left. Gotta love a Samsung phone for its smart technology. I'm permanently blocking this number now.

The bastards are back for the New Year. Indian call centre scammers. Ignore this number.

Caller: Indian accented man using an aussie sounding fake name

Caller: This scam # three times

This is a really sad story. Nuisance people earning their survival through exploits which are purely malicious . The fact it is profitable, feasible to exist on this scale, it is a disgrace. This is a byproduct of actual universal degradation to a remarkable level. The rich folk at the top owe it to all to fix this disaster, there is a real need to implement a safeguard on this type of technology in the digital age, to help protect those vulnerable, to govern the dynamic of man in order to influence it to become comfortable for all, for comfort is real wealth and the value of it is returned when it is offered.

An Indian guy asked me if i wanna install solar panel, answered no interest and the guy hang up immediately. very rude. Definitely don't pick it up.

Continually calls and wants to know if I have "the power saving device installed". They are trying to get people to have the POWERPAL installed. The companies get paid by the Vic Gov if they install them.

Reverse Australia is my go to, to check numbers. Thank you for this service.

Calls repeatedly. Never leaves a message.

Caller: Scammer

Artless foreign call centre scammer.

Reject. Report. Block.

Like all the other comments did not answer call, no message left, number blocked. "Anabranch South NSW " is north west of Mildura that's why it probably has an 03 area code.

Weird looking number with Melbourne area code and NSW caller ID .. eh? I did not answer, no message left, checked here. Blocked.

I don't understand this! so many of us complain and nothing is done! they called me twice same day!

Caller: Indian call centre

Its hard to express how dumb these call centre scammers are.

Had this number ring me 5 times today my new Samsung picked up its a scam call. They never leave a message and it says there calling from Berriwillock which is hard to believe as it's my hometown and only 150 people live there so its definitely not from there.
