Scammer wanting 'authorise this transaction press 1, if you did not authorise press 2' or similar wording!!! No mention of business name at beginning of voicemail message & automated sounding voice - yet another phone number to block! I have more phone numbers blocked than legit numbers in my contact list!

Didn't know the number, didn't answer, no message left. Either wrong # or scammer.

Has called twice today - also using (08) 6234 8389 (which I blocked). Didn't pick up, they didn't leave a voicemail - so clearly a SCAM!

I received a call from this number and told me he was calling Amazon in regards iPhone transaction. He asked, "Is it right'? "I asked how do you know? You should know since you are the one telling me this." Then disconnected the call. That for sure was a f*cking scammer who does not have a proper job.

Caller: I don't know

This number called my phone but I didn't answer as it was an unknown number. No message was left so I will block this number. If it was a call for me specifically they should leave a message. I'm sick of getting scam calls where they hang up as soon as I answer or have weird recorded messages.

Said it was Elena from the Commonwealth bank but was unable to articulate what it was they were calling about and hung up.

Caller: "David from Australia First"

SCAM - David called as a package under my name (at no point confirmed my name) arrived at their office and they have scanned the contents and can see it is contains items such as "cheque books." Then when I ask the name on the package - they name Coleen and start saying this is obviously a case where colleen has stolen my identity and they can now help..

Caller: Scammer

Scammer

Called saying they are from Visa Security (I dont own a visa) when I said please take me off your call list they hung up on me.

Caller: Roger from Telstra

Incoming call went to voicemail - they thought got through and said was "Roger from Telstra" on the voice-message. They got no response so hung up. I have deleted message and blocked number. Obvious scam.

No message left but possibly tried to hide number. It showed up as "spam" "silent number" on my phone.

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 , 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!
They are 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.

Pretending to be from ANZ bank.

Caller: Scammer

Called twice today 0n (08) 9467 4036 and also (08) 6234 8394. both calls went to voicemail within 10 minutes of each other and no message. Have blocked both numbers.

Same as other comments - Did not answer and no message left. Scammer.

As with other comments, this no. has called twice today, both times I've hung up and will now block.

Claimed to be from a credit blocking agency that had intercepted a potential fraudulent transaction. They wanted to send me a link to confirm that the transaction was fraudulent. They couldn't confirm the company that they worked for and couldn't tell me which institution I banked with. Clearly a scam aiming to phish for login from a sent link.

picked up the phone but was unknown number. I didnt say anything waiting to see if it was a person on the other side or a robocall. After 2 seconds no sound from the other side and it cut off itself.

They told me ,they were from Amazon about a phone I ordered and that my data and personal details had been breached or hacked. And that's when I hung up.
