I am a small eBay business and received a call from this number and they were also claiming to be Victoria police and requested $385 per year for some safety program. I do not have a website and do not have my phone number listed with the name of my store anywhere other than with eBay and a customer would have to request to have the number. So I have no idea how they got my number and mentioned my store name. I called ebay and they have had no requests for my phone number, so someone must be accessing it on the inside somehow.

Hey, guys, if it helps: i made 3 calls to them, it hangs up each time you call them, it looks like another of those shoddy references callers, be aware. We run a transport business, that may be a target as well, why we are on their scope. Logging them on our naughty list now ... :)

Caller: (03) 9945 8183 I run a small business on Facebook, and I generally don’t get that many calls, (plus the number I have linked to my shop isn’t the same that they rang me on) so when they called me up saying they were the Ambulance Union I was suspicious. I’ve put them in on my blocked numbers list.

Caller: (03) 9945 8183 I received a call on this number to my business number, saying it came from "Melbourne, Victoria" - I thought it would have been someone or a friend down there calling me. I have tried ringing it back on No Caller ID and it just hangs up. I have had this happen before with someone talking about kids staying off drugs, asking for $350, $500, or $1000 amounts.... I remembered that and I reckon it was the same people for that scam mentioned here.

Caller: young lady Very polite young lady rang me while I was out running, she said I sound busy, so i'll be quick - it's a call on behalf of Victoria Police, asked if I was the owner of a Facebook page (which I am) and that it'd be great if my page were listed in their book as a sponsor for programs which tackle youth crime prevention and suicide - so my guess is they got my number from the facebook page and thought that since i was proactive in the community i would be a good targe, get the samaritans type of approach - I told her we don't generate income from the page so any donations would be from my money, that's fine she says. I feel played. I don't like being in someones targets because I own a "do-gooder" facebook page. Don't fall for it, they will say anything to get a foot in the door.
