Caller: Lady

Lady with Australian accent, sounded legit, but became fishy. She was saying she was calling about me popping in for a free 15 min hearing test under an Australian government scheme. Really dodgy and fishing for information. Watch out the scammers are evolving their approach. Wonder if this is linked to the Optus hack.

After getting not one but two calls yesterday from a similar number, these lowlifes appear to be back today, phoning but not speaking. I wish I had the power to consign the bottom-feeding pests to the deepest, hottest regions of hell. But it would be enough if the telcos could work out some way of dealing with this worsening plague of spam/nuisance calls that drive their customers crazy.

Caller: Fake vic solar rebate

Fake solar energy

(03) 7068 5864 rang my mobile i did not answer when i called back it says this number is NOT in service!!

Red flag !!!

Didn't answer, then a voicemail of nothing except call center background noise

Scammer! As they ring, you pick up, they will hang up. When you call back, you get people with and Indian accent trying poorly to sound Australian.

Caller: (03) 7068 9777

They swear at you when you will not say the yes word
when the first call you answer saying hello and they ask to speak to you and name you and when you answer that with hello again instead of saying the yes and they say is this and say your name again & you answer with hello again they then start calling you all not nice names

Scammer

who is calling?

called 5 times in a day and yet left no messages.

very fearful. are they hackers, scammers or evil people?

They don't speak then hung up

Scam caller spoke with foreign accent phishing for personal details

Repeated calls during the business day. Has a pattern. First call, ring and don't speak, but if you answer and speak, then the second call comes in less than an hour later.

No amount of asking has enabled me to get them to stop calling.

Thinking about finding the whistle that I used to have when I was a child and giving that a blow to see if that gets the "don't call me" message better understood.

Scammer and a thief

Hangs up, no message.

Caller: Scam

Repeated calls from this number, claiming to be from the Victorian Govt Energy Scheme. They introduce themselves with names like Jack or Steve (whilst not sounding like a Jack or a Steve) and talk about free shower heads. Call center background noise. When I ask for the name of the company they are calling for, or ask for the name of the installation company I am told the name of the installer is the Victorian Government. Two or three calls a day. Each time I answer (about every second call) I ask to be taken off their call list and each time I am assured they will do this. Scammers.

Caller: Supposed shower head people

Received about 8 calls within 2 hours. When I answered phone hung up. Another call within 5 minutes with ethnic person asking if we had shower heads fitted. I told them to stop ringing.

Called every 10 mins for 30 mins not happy always hung up

Caller: Scumbag criminal harasser
