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.

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

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".

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.

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'.

It seemed legit to me. The ABN checked out - ABN 39 126 100 276 is BIG VILLAGE AUSTRALIA PTY LTD
A lot of people here are suspicious but it seemed like a normal tourism research survey to me. They didn't ask for any particularly personal info - just post code, age range, income range - which you would expect for proper research.
I guess I'll be on the lookout for phishing messages now, but I heard nothing suspicious.
