Suspicious

Received a call from the same number with the Indian accent guy. Extremely polite. However as my mum was hit by a bus a few months ago I didn't know if it was a scam or not. He knew all the details - the date of the accident, it was a school bus, mum went to hospital, my mum's name etc but he wanted the registration of the bus. I was "on alert" then and told him to ring the police if he needed any other details. He said thank you and hung up.

I just received a call from 0240170360 at 1039 3July. Im absolutely sick of numbers I don't know, phoning me. I never answered as I only have 2 people from interstate that I know PLUS my number is a SILENT NUMBER plus 'DO NOT CALL'. I blame the Federal Gov for this. They are the ones that have to stop all these calls PLUS if I have both of the above with my phone, why in the blazes do I even have to put up with flaming CHARITIES of any kind. If I want to donate I will but I don't want to be hounded by ANY GROUP AT ALL. I wish all these groups, companies, charities etc would just rack off. Thats the reason I got a silent number for in the first place. I pay for that supposED privalege. Go Figure.

A male with an Indian accent called to say he was from the "Accident Assistance" something. Calling about someone having a car accident with me. Have had no accident. Obviously a scam but can't find where to report to Telstra (my service provider). Called twice in five minutes second time from 02 8006 9319.
