Scam they asked for a mark beretin did he still live in my old street , I said I have no idea who your talking about, she said he was a tattoo artist , and wanted to know if I still lived in that street, so she could pop her name and number in my mailbox, I don't live in that street anymore so have no idea what she wanted.. hung up after that...

Similar story to top comment. Didn't give her name over phone. Asked if my neighbour (gave name) still lived next door to me. Stupidly I said "yes as far as I know." Then she asked me if I could urgently put a note to call her in the mailbox. She sent a text message with contact details from a different mobile number. The contact details were for "Kelli" and the number given in the text was a landline number. The number she called from was different to the text message number. She had a New Zealand accent. I also asked during call how she got my number. She said "just a database service. Like White Pages. I put address for neighbours around [my neighbour address] and your name and number popped up." I'm not listed on the White Pages. All very suspicious.

This number has been flagged as a scam call so I didn't answer it. If it's an important phone call, they will leave a message - but they didn't. So I'm just going to assume it's a bullsh*t scam call

They call me every few months or so looking for someone I don't know. Keep saying it's for a personal reason & refuse to give their name or business name. I've tried. Locking them in the past but they call me again a few months later!

A woman named 'Layla' called me seeking contact details of someone with the my surname, hoping it was a family member. I asked who she was and where she was calling from and she only said she was trying to get in contact with them as she was assisting with a matter for a private company based in Sydney. Asked if the person was a relation of mine and could I put her in contact? I asked how she got my number and it was from a 'google phone book' as she was searching the surname, which isn't too common, so she hoped she would find a relation. As she gave me no company name or why she was trying to get a hold of this person, I didn't help with any information and blocked the number.

Caller: Rachael

Rang looking for my old neighbour saying she couldn’t disclose where she was from and sent a text message with a number to pass onto the neighbour

Caller: 0480 039 406

I’m assuming this is a scam call based on the other comments.
A woman called Grace was asking after an acquaintance of mine. Stated the persons full name & said they could see we were Facebook friends. I do have my friends list hidden so she must have seen it from the other persons profile. How she got my number is unknown.
She stated she was trying to get in contact with said person & reassured me it was for nothing bad, they weren’t in trouble.
I was cautious & asked Grace for her surname.
She paused then said Smith.
Clearly made that up on the spot so I said I couldn’t help her & that was the end of the conversation.
Did warn the other party.

Caller: Grace

Grace called me and asked about a family member. Then stated my kids names. Went on to state that my children will remain safe at my address (knew my address) as long as I pay my debt of $100,000 to them via either cash payment or a Bitcoin transfer. I don't have bitcoin or $100K cash. I text them back stating if they call again I will go to police as they are a scam caller and I refuse to put up with blackmail.

I am at a total loss how they have obtained all of these details about me and my family.

Caller: Female voice

Asked me whether I still live a X address and whether I could pop a note in neighbours letterbox. I said no.

Caller: Ava - Private Company in Sydney

Called and asked if I know a certain person which I do but have no contact or only know them through mutual. Lady (Ava) said its for a personal matter and refuse to give any info. Have asked how they got my number as I dont associate with this wanted person but apparently I’m in the database. Didnt want to give them further details as they dont give any as well.

This number has called me at least three times in the last two days I haven’t answered because I don’t recognise the number and it is now blocked. After reading comments. I’m convinced it’s spam

Caller: Kaitlyn

Same person just called me asking for someone wouldn't say where she was from.

Caller: Caitlin/Katlyn

She asked my nextdoor neighbour to speak to me then when on the phone asked for someone else

Scam. They asked me if I know a person who works for the same company as mine. I asked they where they are calling from, they told me they can’t disclose.

Caller: Grace

Asked for the number of some person i didn’t know. Wouldn’t tell me where she was from. Told me she got my number through a house I rented 9 years ago

Caller: Grace

Was asked if I could leave a message for my neighbour to ring 88364325.
I googled the above mobile and found it was a scam debt collector.
I phoned the landline (above), explained my situation, was assured it was legitimate, asked the neighbours name( I didn’t know it). Neighbour came in, not his name…SCAM…

suspected scam, comes up as a debt collector.

Called an old employer saying it was personal and asked for my mobile number. Wouldn’t give any details and said unless I give them my details they won’t say what company they are from. Scam call.
