Caller: It's a scam Pretended to be from Victoria Police, they are actually a private company, they call around getting as many 'sponsors' as possible, then publish in a magazine they create themselves that is not distributed, they only supply a PDF version of the magazine to 'prove' they actually put it in a book, actual magazine was never offered nor did the advertisement create any sales.
100% scam company, they just get as many people onboard as possible to collect the money for themselves, then make a single PDF magazine as 'proof' they delivered something.

Caller: Sponsorship scam 0478 286 006 is a scam impersonating police. I've been called just now, and yes, immediately got suspicious when the girl started with questions about my business name claiming that she was calling on behalf of the 'police'. She was trying to get 'community help' to save poor Aussie kids from ice epidemic, attempted to get my business listing published for some donation or similar, I simply told her that I'm not interested. They knew my business name but not much else. Block 0478 286 006 it is a scam.

Caller: Uneducated evil with too much time on hands ... Some very nasty ( smarmy ) cheap sounding woman just rang literally smirking with evil asking for a very nasty smart twist on the Business name.
Either a idiot who cannot read and changes the names to nasty things to suit .. or an asshat ....

Caller: Scam call The phone caller said: He is a NSW police representative. He asked about my business and said there was a problem. It was ridiculous and I answered that I was not interested in samming calls like this.

The phone caller reports to ask for some sponsorship money for the police. He was quite pushy even when I said I will think about it so I could tell it's a scam - no charity/sponsors push money on the spot like that.

Caller: Identifed as calling on behalf of NSW Police Wanted to offer advertising in a Police publication and would issue some sort of recognition in return. When I asked him for an email outlining what was on offer (as I was busy) he became argumentative and then promptly hung up.
As he knew the business name, suggest that the origin was either Google or Social Media. Very unprofessional if legit but sounded super dodgy.

Scam - claim to represent VIC police and PCYC but wouldn't elaborate and wouldn't say anything about what they wanted when asked - eventually they hung up
