Says they’re calling from Australia, left a message with noise in the background but said nothing. Probably a telemarketer.

SCAM Alert! Have you had a call from an unfamiliar number starting with 0488 813?

We're getting reports of a new scam doing the rounds, with people receiving calls from a number starting with 0488 813 XYX - the last three digits differ from call to call. The calls appear to originate from a VoIP phone.

The caller introduced themselves as being from 'technical support' and requested remote access to the recipient's computer.

Several other people stated that the caller pretended to be from a government authority and requested personal information such as name, date of birth and address.

If you receive such a call and the caller is not known to you, please consider hanging up. Please be mindful of providing your personal information over the phone.

2 or 3 times a day at any time day or night. Been nearly 2 weeks. Picked up once and was just noise crackly/staticy. Same second time. Block immediately!
