Seems like a scam, saying that I will get a 299.99 deposit into my bank account if I follow certain instructions

Caller: It was a message DM

Here’s a more expanded and polished version while keeping your voice:


---

Hello all,

I’m a blogger based in Sydney, and I wanted to share something that happened to me recently as a bit of a warning and learning experience.

I received a direct message from someone asking me to check out something and feature it on my channel. The message included a phone number and, without thinking too much about it, I decided to call. When the call connected, it was a woman who picked up, but the line was completely silent. It felt strange, so I assumed the call had dropped and tried again.

When I called back, the experience became even more unusual. Over the next two or three attempts, I was met with what sounded like an automated female voice saying things like “can I help you” and “who’s speaking please.” Unfortunately, I responded and gave my name, which in hindsight I shouldn’t have done.

I tried calling again one last time, and the woman picked up once more, but this time she simply told me to hang up the phone. At that point, it became pretty clear that something wasn’t right, and I now strongly believe this may have been some kind of scam or suspicious setup.

Looking back, I realise I should have been more cautious. It’s easy to trust messages when they relate to your interests, especially when someone appears to be engaging with your content, but this was definitely a reminder to be more careful moving forward.

If anyone ever wants to reach out with genuine requests or suggestions for my channel, please do so through proper and direct channels rather than asking me to call unknown numbers.

Just thought I’d share this so others can stay aware as well.

Robocall from 08 number, i dialled the 03 number and encountered a racist dude that wants my personal information so he can process something that I didn't purchase.

FRAUDSTERS! Immediately hang up and report call to Police. Robocall children to steal identity and money. Number is registered to a failed company NZ 3 Pty Ltd. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION!

Caller: Recorded message supposedly from Amazon

Recorded message about being charged for an Amazon parcel. Press 1 for an operator, 2 to cancel. Knew it was a scam so I hung up after noting the number. The call came from and 08 number. About to report that one too.

said Amazon would be taken $199.99 out my bank A/c within 1 hour I hung up

Caller: (03) 4418 0686

Definitely a scam saying 10$ will be debited from my account then I will receive a package

Yes, I got the same calls twice from this number

Re orders, for cancellation of orders press option 1. Nah sounds dodgy

Caller: They state they want money for a package

(03) 4418 0686
This is a Bullsh*t call.
It’s most likely someone in their basement spanking off to porn.

My phone already scanned this as potential fraud so i did not answer. The fact i keep getting the caller and no voice mail messages are ever left comfirms the former to me

Most likely a scam. Left a message to follow a link to retrieve a message. NO legitimate business would be leaving a message like this. NO legitimate business would send this at 7:45pm. DO NOT FOLLOW LINK!

THIS HAS SCAM WRITTEN ALL OVER IT!

Caller: Scam caller said it was Amazon

Robocall left message on voicemail - start of message was missed but rest was "have not placed an order then please press 1 to speak with our representative to cancel the order, thank you".
Called the number back and was answered by a male with an Indian accent. He answered as if was Amazon and then was unintelligible despite asking him to repeat what he was saying several times. No purchases have been made and this is a scam call.

Caller: Amazon Prime

Recorded message about a debt owing, so I hung up
