Scam

It's misleading to say that this company represents the government; instead, they falsely claim to do so while offering low-quality products and overcharging government agencies.

E
Eickhoff
Uncertain

I received a call from this number at dinner time, but they didn't leave a message. It's quite annoying, so I've decided to block the number.

This scam caller contacted me and spoke with a foreign accent, attempting to phish for my personal information.

Suspicious

I answered the call, but no one spoke. I could hear background noise, which makes me suspect it might be a scam or telemarketing call.

B
Brunetti
Spam

I received a call from someone with an Indian accent who was trying to sell solar panels. I informed him that he had reached the Australian Federal Police, and he promptly hung up. It seems this scared him off, as I haven’t received another call from him since.

B
Bina
Spam

I received a phone call from this number, but they did not leave a message. I typically do not answer calls from unknown numbers, and based on this experience, I believe it's spam.

M
Mealer
Legit

Contrary to some reports, this number is actually associated with a legitimate state government program that provides free water-efficient shower heads. The caller, who had a noticeable accent, proposed a time for installation. They came the next day and replaced my old shower heads in both the bathroom and ensuite at no cost. They even offered to add draft strips to my old doors to improve insulation. Everything went smoothly!

L
Lisle
Spam

This company keeps calling me about replacing shower heads, even though I've informed them multiple times that I live in a rental and must get my landlord's approval. Despite blocking several of their numbers, they still call me weekly.

C
Copas
Suspicious

This caller claimed to be offering government rebates for shower head replacements. When I inquired about the value of the shower heads, considering mine are only three years old and quite expensive, they were unable to provide a proper answer, which raised red flags. I eventually told them to stop calling me.

This number has called me twice today and did not leave a message each time. When I tried to return the call, their line was blocked.

M
Musson
Spam

A caller claimed to be offering a free installation of a shower exhaust cover. When I informed him that I don't have a bathroom, he asked about my kitchen or laundry instead. I explained that I don’t cook or do laundry either, but he continued to insist. I found this interaction frustrating and have marked the number as spam and blocked it.

B
Burgdorf
Suspicious

Called at 10:45. Did not leave message. Checked the number with Reverse AU, came up as 'not sure if scam'.

However not trusting this number. Number did leave a message. However the audio. Amr recording is barely audible. I think they wanted me to call them. No chance.

L
Lorenzen
Suspicious

334787: During this call, no one spoke to me directly, but I could hear the sounds of a call center in the background. It felt like I was on hold without anyone addressing me.
