Caller: SCAMMERS - TAKEN DETAILS FROM OPTUS HACKING Claiming he had did a job in my home previously and now they were over energy saving devices. He had all my details and when I advised him my address had changed, he insisted that I give it to him over the phone. When I advised I will respond only to email, he said he didn't want to proceed anymore. If he was legit he wouldn't have a problem with verifying my address over email.
WATCH OUT AND HANG UP IMMEDIATELY

Caller: Australian Health Compare ( Maybe) Call back answered by wait music with no company or personal introduction.
Agent who answered identified as representative of Australian Health Compare which appears on web as a legitimate company and web site.
Agent may have been collecting information using Health Care Coverage policy info such as Policy and cost, family, marital status, number of children and age, dependencies and so on.
Can not identify as actual scammer but questions were directed at narrowing vector of privilege information collection so would advise caution.
Note: Caller called three times in ten minute leaving no voice mail message. Legitimate callers will leave message. Call back and call back frequency indicates attempt to suggest urgency in order to illicit call back.
Caution: Advise not to engage caller and use legitimate avenues for reviewing Health Care Coverage Advise not to call back from line with Caller ID if concerned about call
