It's a long running scam. The magazine Choice has looked into it operating out of the Gold Coast. For more info see the public forum comments on Whirlpool .net .au: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/31jk5lj9

They frequently change numbers and their name but the idea is to get info about you so that they can get people into your home who will sell you their expensive product.

The "Do Not Call" register is is not going to save your ass for anything as the majority of these nuisance calls originate overseas where the register means absolutely squat. Hell, I could ring 1000 random numbers if so desired and nothing could/would be done.

I am on do not call register - yet these people call me four or five times a week - stupid accents, they do not even know the name of the person they are supposedly trying to call, absolute pain.

Scammers - "Australian Health & Wellness Initiative" a couple of days ago using a spoofed (fake) number. They previously called themselves "Australian Health & Wellness Survey". Calling from the Philippines.

Health/age/wellness survey. Seemed ok.

Another caller who did not leave a message SCAMMER

Calls a number I have as silent, a home phone, so they still get your number

sick and tired of these calls they never leave a message I am on the do not call register which is not working..... surely something can be done about this

Scammers - "Australian Health & Wellness Survey" called me several times.
Filipina accent. No amount of insults seems to deter them.

These are scammers posing as conducting surveys on wellness.
They pass on your details to a third party in the business of selling expensive health equipment.

Am on do not call register, call is from Phillipines, lady was hard to understand and asking all kinds of vague stuff - pretended to be my grandma - she offered me links to other supply websites for supplements... lol

We are on the do not call register. They have rung three times this week... on two occasions caller had accents. No way of verifying these people.

I think it is a scam. Australia has a legitimate survey but the word initiative is not in it.

Looks like it is not a scam, but just a data collecting thing. I gave a lot of vague, and wrong answers just to keep it going so that I could find the real reason for the call. I decided that they needed data in order to target you for all sorts of treatment stuff, like supplement pills, and the like. I am looking forward to the next call from them, just to play along.

Caller: Wellness Survey

Asian woman,s voice - a waste of my time
