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

Rings me daily even though I have blocked, when you ring back goes to voicemail of an Australian lady says they’re from “Advance impact” trying to reach me through a charity partner. Have reported to scam registry

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.

Caller: Amnesty

Telemarketing on behalf of Amnesty. Got number by way of sticker promotion on Facebook

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!

Caller: 0488 829 873

I blocked them after they kept calling for the 5th time and then continue to receive messages that they tried to call me

Repeatedly called me almost 10 times over 2 days, oftentimes multiple calls in a row before they took a break and resumed.

Caller: Scammers

***DO NOT ANSWER THIS NUMBER*** My telco network immediately flagged it as a "suspicious call" - they are trying to do remote access scams on people's computers. I've blocked and reported.

They are trying to tell me they are from a charity. They have been calling consistently over 36 hours and are now blocked.

Caller: Advanced impact a woman's charity well that's what they say,

Absolute nuisance calling every day, now they have my housemates number somehow.
I have had a call 8 days straight and when you call back it says they are advanced impact, some woman's charity but I have also heard this number will try and either download malicious malware or your information, not 100% sure on that though.
Block it they are a right royal pain in the backside!!
