Caller: Spoofed number by an O/S scammer Mon 20 Sept 2021 ~3:50pm, Melbourne Australia. Received a call from (03) 9724 9365, which is believed to have been a faked or spoofed number.
Call was initially an automated recorded message, but then I was transferred to a live female with strongly indian sounding accent claiming to be "Australian Border Force". I was told they had seized a package in my name with illegal content. She wanted to know why I called, a big give away the call is a scam as it was them who had called me! When she asked me my name, I said "No, you tell me!". The scammer did not know how to answer and after several seconds of not responding she hung up on me.
The call was of apalling audio quality (VOIP?), and the number seems to have been totally faked and not matching anything I would expect from the ABF.
Never give these scammers your name or any other details whatsoever. NOTHING AT ALL! Just hang up.
