I called this number back but blocked my number. An Indian person called Patrick started yapping about upgrading my hot water system. He asked what system I had and I told him it was a secret. He hung up. Probably a scam but definitely a nuisance.

Caller: A man from a Brisbane based company

Looking for personal details of someone, I asked for a company name and he said “I’m calling from a company based in Brisbane” and that was all I got

It is a scam. "Brisbane based company," but refuses to answer what Brisbane based company (red flag anyone?) and it's not a Victorian Initiative related to replacing a more cost effective and energy efficient hot water system, especially for the non-existent "Brisbane based company," which would be Queensland based and definitely not Victorian for a "Victorian initiative."

FFS - critical thinking skills should be engaged here, and the very basic employment of common-sense.

Caller: Damian

Left a number to call and gave me a reference number

Caller: A customer service operator who isnt available to take my call

Ain't no body got time for that

Call hung up before it went to my v/mail.

It's not a scam. It's the Victorian Government's initiative to upgrade illegible hot water systems to more energy-efficient ones.

Rang but didn't leave a messge

Spam!
