Usual deal of only giving their first name once I've asked, and when I ask where they're from they say "Brisbane", as if that's what I wanted to know.

Only a collections agency is this dodgy. Get a real job, "Tim".

this number is for credit corp , they continually called until I asked for alleged debt to be sent via registered post so I can submit to a solicitor and build a case for suing them for defamation and court costs......no calls since

Caller: Tim

Today I received a hidden call from Tim who said he was chasing a number for my father (who died last year). Once explained, Tim then wanted the number for the executor of my dads Will and when I questioned why, if he was a legitimate company, he had no alternative contact numbers he proceeded to say that all the numbers he had were disconnected or not answering.

I told him I thought he was a scam and I wouldn't even bother passing his contact number on to the relevant parties. He must have gotten sick of my tone cause he admitted we weren't getting anywhere and he'd continue to try on the numbers he had left.

Thanks for posting your experiences everyone, I feel better in my choice of labelling him as a scam.

I called back the number (07) 3422 6765 and the person I spoke with didn't mention the company name
