F
Fix
Scam

I have experienced the same as others with this number. It rings but does not leave a message, and I choose not to answer calls from unknown numbers. If they were genuine, they would have the courtesy to leave a message explaining their purpose and indicating when they might call back again.

A
Anonymous
Scam

Scammer. Block number.

B
Briones
Spam

I noticed I missed a call from this number, which also did not leave a message, for two consecutive days. After reading comments about it here, I opted to block the number.

R
Raposo
Scam

I also received a similar call. The caller claimed he was conducting research about gambling in the ACT and mentioned a $20 voucher. He asked if I was interested in answering questions. I wasn't interested, so I blocked his number after he kept calling me.

F
Fordham
Suspicious

A man rang claiming he needed to speak to someone in payroll or the manager, stating he was calling on behalf of the government. This raised some red flags.

M
Macarthur
Spam

Rang today but came up SPAM and BLOCKED with Alert sign on my Optus mobile which was cyber attacked September 2022 along with 10 million Optus customers.

S
Salamanca
Spam

I received a missed call from this number for the second time. My Samsung phone has flagged this number as a telemarketer and suspected spam.

V
Vendetti
Spam

Survey scammers.

R
Rohrer
Suspicious

This number called my daughter's mobile phone, which is only known to a select few family members. It is concerning how these spam callers obtain private numbers. I suspect they may generate random numbers hoping to reach someone. I have now added this number to the blocked list; I appreciate everyone who shares their experiences on this site.

W
Waller
Suspicious

I have received the same call twice. Initially, I felt it seemed legitimate, but when I told them I didn't have time, they persisted in asking when would be a better time to talk. I am aware of scams and typically receive calls from unknown numbers for work reasons, making it difficult to differentiate between legitimate inquiries and scams.

M
Mowry
Suspicious

I answered a call from a man who claimed to be from a university. I felt uncomfortable and quickly hung up.

S
Saxon
Scam

Scammers. Blocked their incessant calls.

I
Ivey
Spam

This number has been repeatedly calling me for several days. I choose not to answer, and they never leave a voicemail.

N
Nava
Suspicious

A man named Dan, claiming to be from Ipsos, called me to conduct a survey about gambling for Queensland University. He provided a link for me to claim a gift code at the end, which felt very suspicious. In retrospect, I should have hung up as soon as I heard it.

C
Conner
Suspicious

This number is calling me constantly the past 3 days. One call was at 1 am. Block it.

H
Harness
Scam

A young voice answered the call, claiming to be from a government department, but spoke too quickly for me to understand. When I asked for proof, he admitted he couldn't provide any, prompting me to hang up. Sounds like a scam to me!

R
Romain
Suspicious

The caller hung up immediately when I answered the phone. Initially, I thought it was a work-related call, but it seems dubious.

W
Wayland
Scam

This number seems to be involved in a scam, as it called using a spare line that hasn't been allocated yet.

R
Rossow
Legit

Conducting surveys, legitimate call.

M
Mordecai
Suspicious

I've also received numerous calls from this number without any messages left. Like others, I suggest that you block it, as it appears to be linked to (02) 9170 2323.

C
Cottrell
Legit

The number belongs to Ipsos, a reputable Australian market research company akin to Roy Morgan Research. This is not a scam call. When you call back, the automated voice message is part of their system designed to manage a high volume of return calls. Ipsos conducts legitimate market research for various government sectors.

Suspicious

(02) 9170 2300 rang Wed 10/04/24 at 4:09 pm. They didn't leave a message.

Unknown number with no message, couldn't be important or didn't want to leave evidence of fradulent activity. Don't care.

S
Salvesen
Spam

Today, I received a call from a woman who claimed to be conducting a survey related to the NSW government. She asked if I had time for her questions, but I declined and hung up. I also blocked the number, but I'm concerned they will just contact me from a different number soon.

B
Batista
Suspicious

I received a call from (02) 9170 2300 on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, at 4:09 PM. They did not leave a voicemail. Since it’s an unknown number without a message, I assume it either isn’t important or may be involved in fraudulent activity, and I have no interest in responding.

H
Hammes
Uncertain

I typically avoid answering calls from unknown numbers, so I decided to look up this number to verify its legitimacy, and that brought me here to report it.

M
Mass
Scam

This number has been calling me every day for at least a month, and now they are calling me up to five times a day. I strongly suggest blocking this number, as when I tried to call back privately, I received a robotic voicemail, which indicates that it is likely a scam!

T
Tanaka
Scam

These individuals have called me at least 5 times a day for the past month. Frustrated, I returned the call privately and was met with an automated message. This is definitely a scam, so I suggest blocking this number!

B
Buxton
Scam

The caller claimed to be from Google. I advise treating all unsolicited calls as potential scams; it’s best to ask for their phone number for a callback and to never disclose your name, instead asking them where they obtained your number.

S
Stiefel
Scam

The caller identified themselves as being from NDIS, but when I refused to give any personal information until they verified their identity, they were unable to provide any concrete details. Believing them to be scammers, I ended the call.

C
Cava
Scam

Scam call, Do not answer.

B
Benvenuto
Suspicious

I received an unanswered call from this number (02) 9170 2300 late on a Sunday morning while I was busy in the shower. Since I prioritize not engaging with unknown callers, I immediately check my call history and block any numbers that have no previous contact. I find myself doing this multiple times a week with different unknown numbers.

A
Annan

I am extremely frustrated as I get calls from different variations of this number every single day, sometimes three times a day. They never leave a message, and I'm unable to call them back.

R
