I have been getting calls from (02) 8079 7516 multiple times. The caller claims to be from Capital Alliance, an investment company, and asks bizarre questions about global issues. It's very strange and feels suspicious.

Suspicious User-submitted

Said research. Knew my name and email address. Polite and asked general questions. She ended the call. Still suspicious. Blocked.

I received a call from a person with a heavy accent claiming to be from a company related to "Capital something." They correctly stated my name and tried to solicit money from me. This clearly seems to be a scam, and I recommend others be cautious.

I received a call from this unrecognized number, but when I attempted to call back, I found out that the line was disconnected for incoming calls. My Samsung HiYa app automatically flagged this number as spam, which I believe is accurate.

They tried ringing not stop but did not pick up as, I don't pick up any number not in my contact. No message left. Perhaps a marketing or spam.

Market research, not sure why they have my details. They called me full name and they were also known my email address too. When I asked them about where they found my details, they handed up the phone call.

Suspicious User-submitted

The caller stated they were conducting market research, but I am puzzled by how they obtained my personal details. They addressed me by my full name and even mentioned my email address. When I asked where they got my information, they abruptly hung up the call.

I firmly believe this is a scam. I do not recognize the number and do not know anyone in New South Wales. They did not leave a voicemail. I have blocked the number, and I'm extremely frustrated with the high volume of these calls I receive daily.
