Caller: Scammer

Time for Australians to demand the Federal Government legislates to make the Telcos and ISPs make it impossible for these foreign parasites to keep targetting vulnerable Australians.

Currently the outbound “Caller ID” is a piece of data that Indian call centre Scammers can change to look like a phone number in your area. The USA has recently enacted legislation to make the Telcos VERIFY Caller IDs as accurate before the call even gets put through.

Why do have we a third rate telephone system in this country that the Scammers can take advantage of so easily?

Caller: I don't know

They keep calling but hang up when I answer! Maybe their computer makes 20 calls at a time & they only talk to the 1st one who answers? So they must be crooks!

I don't answer if I think it's a scam number.
Telstra needs to stop this happening it's beyond a joke.

Awful telephone stalking telemarketer PESTS.
Will not take NO for an answer.
Keep calling my landline harassing me!

6 calls from (03) 9016 0153 so far today, all hangups. Time someone started shooting these pricks

Scam caller spoke with foreign accent phishing for personal details

Called and hung up without saying a word.

Rang my home twice, each time I picked up, the caller did not speak. I tried to call back and it said the number had been disconnected? They called again and used my first name!! Indian man who said he was from a Government company wanting to replace LED lights, and where did I live? ...I just hung up. Scum

Caller claimed to be from Australian Tax Office and requires my information.

Caller: (03) 9016 0153

multiple missed calls for days from this same number.... arghh!

Caller: Apu

I’ve been ring them non stop for days asking them to be my friends but they all seem to be interested in my mother even the woman. She sounds abit kinky for a tax “officer”

Sick of these calls

Caller: (03) 9016 9606 Melbourne, Victoria

Said they were taxation office and I was going to jail

The usual pathetic bottom-feeding pests who butt into your life and disturb you but then don't bother to speak. I see that they are confirmed scamming scum, so that's another number added to my always full list of blocked numbers. I'm very, very sick of it.

I also get multi unknown calls. These days I don't answer but just let it ring out. If it's important, they can leave a message. Most of the numbers that I do call back are "not connected". Before clearing ...... I have an Android mobile, click on to Contacts, tap on 3 dots in top RH corner, click on Blocked Numbers then ADD A NUMBER. and type in the phone number by hand. You will probably find a list of blocked numbers already there. Go back and clear the dud phone call. ( iPhones will have similar ability. )

Come on Telstra, do something !!! :-)

said they are from the government and want to change lights to LED. i said they have done that already and he then switched to replacing insulation and asked if i was home this weekend. Definitely a scam.

has called our business landline x4 times today ! something about changing lights. i hung up

Scammers
