They called three times but I didn't answer. When I called back it says the number is disconnected.

I usually screen unknown numbers, but I stupidly answered the other day and they hung up immediately. Since then they've called daily using these numbers:
0485 868 086, 0485 868 086, 0488 854 113, 0485 865 962, 0485 863 782, 0488 880 794 all of which I've blocked but they are clearly using a system to mix up the mobile number.

Caller: No idea

Answered said hello and it hung up, didn’t leave a message or call back.

Caller: Not Sure

Has called three times today - does not leave a voicemail.

I didn’t answer the call.

Caller: Compare the Energy?

Scam call. I hung up.

Caller: CREDIT CORP

Caller: Credit Corp


This is Credit Corp - debt collection agency attempting to recover money by blowing out the phones of third parties that may or may not know the subject of the alledged debt.

They attempt to call parents, siblings, cousins, neighbours, work colleagues, anyone even remotely associated with the subject or their lives in the hope they can get to them. What they do is illegal, and they can safely be ignored.

When a bad debt is passed onto a debt collector, the agency purchases the debt for 10 to 20 cents in the dollar and then attempt to collect the FULL amount from the original borrower (plus interest).

However, what most people are unaware of is that once the debt has been purchased by a third party (in this case Credit Corp), the debt has been expunged for the original borrower, and that is the end of the matter. The only signature from the borrower is on a contract between the bank/credit provider and the borrower. There is no signed contract between a debt collector and the original borrower.

Therefore, do not admit or agree to anything a debt collector says on the phone, as they will attempt to trick you into entering into a contract with them (if you're the original borrower they are after) and try to get you on a 'payment plan'.

The statute of limitations means they can only chase you for a maximum of five years, but if you admit to anything or enter into agreement with them (even verbally), then that resets and you can be harangued another five years or until you've satisfied the needs of these vultures.

Your best bet is to avoid them like the plague, legally they have no clout. All they have is intimidation tactics on the phone. Weak!

i'm a credit collector and they're legally only allowed to call 3 times a week or 12 in a month, but that is IF YOU ANSWER. so answer the call & just hang up & they won't be able to call again

Scam

Keeps calling be know one talks . Disconnected number when I ring back

Called 3 times. No messages. Didn't pick up.

Caller: 0488 854 113

Called me multiple times a day and when I picked up it hangs up. When I called back it says caller busy. Checked here and found this number has been reported as spam multiple times already. Very annoying.

Rang me saying electricity comparison. Lady wanted my details and everything. Hung up on them . Blocked the number. You can’t even get through this number when you try calling it. Beware it’s 100% scam.

went to voice mail and static left

i answered and it hung up

Caller: Compare the Market she claimed

Finally spoke to a woman who said was trying to help me, claimed to be from Compare the Market. I am afaraid she got more than she bargained for.

It’s a persistent energy comparison company. Don’t know how they got my number. Blocked!

Caller: Compare Your Energy Rates

They called me three times just this morning, and I answered on the third call.

I complained to the man that they call relentlessly and he said this is the first time they have ever called me - the 20 calls on my call history say otherwise, mate.

Told them to remove my number from their list and to never call me again.

He did try to go on with his spiel (about saving me money on my electricity bill, etc), but ultimately backed down and said they would not call again.

This number called me three times, when I answered it hangs up straight away. Definitely a scam call

missed call Ran back and was a robot recorded message.

Answered the call ... No answer and hung up on me. Blocked it afterwards!
