Fraudulently masquerades as qld govt alleging driver licence suspension is imminent

Landline call terminates before answering and sms follows immediately afterwards

Caller: SPER

It is the Qld government chasing fines unpaid

Caller: Someone pretending to be SPER

This is 100% a scam call, it is not really SPER, all the comments saying otherwise are likely to be scammers as well. They call me fairly frequently saying I owe money and they'll suspend my license. I don't know how this is possible as I've never stepped foot in Queensland, let alone driven a vehicle there or incurred any fines. How can they suspend a license for a state I don't have a license for? For fines in a state I've never been to? Scammers.

Caller: (07) 3013 4500

This is actually QLD Gov SPER. This number is listed on official qld gov website on SPER page. They are chasing unpaid qld gov fines. Traffic, court fees, etc.

Caller: (07) 3013 4500

It's a scam. They will likely have your penalty ID # which makes it seem a bit more real. They will text you with a 1300 number to call which is different from SPER's real number.

Caller: SPER

It is SPER lol

Caller: "SPER"

They said it was SPER about unpaid fines and suspending my license in Queensland. I've not been to Queensland in about 15 years and I don't have a Queensland license, so nothing they can suspend legally anyway, frauds.

SMS re missed call. Didn't bother to ring back having read the comments on this site.

Caller: It is definately SPER the number is on their website

This definitely SPER QLD, you will get letter also, beware you don't lose your licence by ignoring them

Pretended to be SPER and asked for identifying information!

Scam, I don’t even live in QLD

Lol it is 100% SPER you dummy

Caller: It is 100% SPER

I missed the call, then SPER text me with the 1300 number. It is sper

Caller: (07) 3013 4500

SPER for QLD Government called. I live in VIC and don’t have any connections to QLD. Scammers

Caller: Sper

A lovely lady from SPER, state penalties enforcement registry called, I missed it and called back. She helped me to sort out a parking fine and organised a payment plan through Centrelink, so my licence wouldn't be suspended. She was lovely to deal with, and went out of her way to help me.

Caller: SPER

This is an actual call from SPER - you just need to call them back on the 1300 185 619 phone number if you are uncomfortable about answer

Caller: (07) 3013 4500

Spam call - This was the transcript:

This is a message for Joshua Michaels. Please call spur, the Queensland Government state penalties Enforcement registry on 1/3 hundred 185619. Thank you.

Caller: SPER

This was SPER calling in relation to an extra payment I made yesterday - they are actually quite helpful - just pay what is owed and if you can't they are more than happy to set up payment plans.

Called claiming to be SPER, and would suspend my driver's licence. My licence expired 3 years ago...

SPAM!!!
