I received a call from this number and it hung up as I answered

Caller: (03) 8639 5130

Scam: This is a phishing scam run by a "company" called OIC International. An ABN lookup will show you this company doesn't exist. The website they list on their recorded message also does not exist. My suggestion is to put your phone on private, ring and waste their time. If you talk to them make up bullsh*t and waste their time.

I have received 5 calls from this number in 8 days. They have not left a message, i refuse to answer. My phone shows its a Melbourne number, being from WA i do not answer such calls. Reading other comments i am best to block this number.

Caller: 'Australian Government agency'

I received this message three days ago: "This is Big Village (ABN 39 126 100 276). In the coming days we will call to see if you can take part in an important survey on behalf of a government agency."

They called today but I didn't answer. If you look up the business they mentioned, they have nothing to do with the government. Sketchy call

Claimed to be from the Government taking a survey (on a Sunday! too funny)

Let phone ring as did not recognize number, than Googled number as per these comments scam

Go awayyyy

Told 'em to f*ck right off

This number has been ringing me two weeks ago and it is almost everyday. I don't answer unregistered number in my phone but get curious when they keep ringing me. So, I have to find this number online, and found out it's a scam. Blocked this number.

Caller: Australian Tourism ??

Well, Well, Well, here's an interesting coincidence. We won a three night stay at a time share resort, the only thing you needed to do was attend a short, no obligation, presentation about time share.Two days after I booked the dates, I get a call from this number. They say that they were from Australian tourism and wanted to do a brief survey, I went along with the survey until they asked me what my income was. Alarm bells started ringing. Who might be the real people doing this "survey".

I called back number (03) 8639 5130 reached IVR for OIC International.

Caller: Tourism Research Australia

They're an Aussie company conducting 3-4 min surveys for tourism in Australia. They just want to know if you have travelled recently or if you are planning to travel in six months time.

Constant calling from this number, I'd say its some type of scammer....BLOCK IT

This number has called a few times, no message. Calls over the weekend

Caller: 'Harris'

caller said was 'Harris from the australian government' then hang up. Don't call back. block it if you can.

Text message said they are big village ABN
39126100276 doing a government survey and will call next few days Big village went into administration January this year. Total scam.

Caller: “Australian govt”

Yeah, I actually answered this call in time and an aussie female sounded quite surprised that I did and after she said “hello” I said “who’s this?”; I figure I caught her off guard as she stuttered to say, “I’m Ruby calling on behalf of the Australian Government”. So sketchy so hung up, blocked the number and came here.

2 days in a row. I did not answer. Have blocked the number now.

My phone flagged this as spam. Didn't pick up and blocked their number. They tried ringing on a Sunday so it's spam or similar. This is a similar interstate number which they ring on at differing days and times. It appears that they use a myriad of different numbers; as soon as you block one they try on another. I reported this crap to 'Scamwatch'. Please give it a google; free Aussie website which takes in this sort of bs. Cheers, never pick up unknown numbers, and keep on blockin'.

No message left 16/11/20 ... this same number has repeatedly called in the past. A big nuisance extremely unwelcome. From their history I will block them once and for all and comments here support that the number is indeed suspect ... possibly scams?????
