False and Misleading Advertising.
Open Universities Australia is not a University, College or other educational institution.
This is false and misleading. The business nane (and speel) discredits Universities. They advertise under the pretext of various Universities online and in particular, Facebook. Facebook users are duped into believing the adverts are by Universities offering courses/degrees when jn fact Open Universities Australia has nothing to do with Education.
A Facebook user will see and respond to what appears to be a University advertisement, enquire about a potential course or degree and be asked for their PERSONAL AND PRIVATE details believing they are providing a University with these details when they are not. They are being misled into believing that they are providing Open Universities Australia with their details.
Someone from Open Iniversities Australia will then do a cold call, further midleading the Facebook user to believe that they are calling to see how the student us going (pretending that they are from a university and calling an enrolled student).
It is not until the caller is pressed for answers that they will admit they are not a university.
They will, upon further questioning, be able to provide the time and date of the enquirers Facebook viewing of a particukar university course.
Having access to a users private details and knowing their movements is not lawful. This is also a breach of Facebook's confidentiality and privacy.
The users' details - identity et al - is logged and recorded without their knowledge or consent strangers who have access and can share the persons details.

Soon, someone claiming to be a student advisor called my mobile phone and also sent me an email (nightmare begins),asking for my personal ID details. Such as: Do you have an Australian citizen? ... What's your real name? Date of your birthday? How long have you lived in Australia? When did you come to Australia? Do you have an international student ID ? ... Age... Where are you from... ??

This series of conduct was completely under the guise of academic research, uses online platforms to defraud personal information of academics in facticity . The intention is unclear.

Caller: The persistent Ms Frey from OUA

I haven't looked at any educational institutions for approximately 18months, started calling at 10pm last Sunday, calls 3 times per day, then she msgs me via SMS and she emails, im quite capable of researching courses, understanding the prerequisites if any and enrolling myself, as well as set up payment plan, I did engage in conversation 18months ago, she just wanted to sign me up to whatever she could and lock me into future courses to keep the money coming, I've emailed her explaining I also homeschool my Autistic/ADHD daughter all on my own, ergo it's difficult to chat on phone, could she please email or SMS and I'll respond, ignorant, just wants money

OU does not claim to be a university. It is a third-party advertising courses of study for numerous universities. Sure, it's annoying that within a few minutes of requesting a brochure, one gets a phone call, but there is nothing misleading - albeit frustrating - about this party's behaviour.

I was casually looking at unis and within 10 minutes I get a call from a guy telling I applied for some course (I did not) and then when I said it must have been a mistake, he tried ro keep me on the phone to give me advice or something.
Look I'll be honest - I have no idea if this a scam or not, just don't give out your number.

Also about 2 hours after I received another, I read online that that happens regularly.

They are not a Univerdity or any other Education as l institution.
This is fslse and misleading advertising.
They are duping Facebook users by claiming to be a university.
Facebook is also breaching privacy.
This is how identity fraud happens.
