This call was part of an automated market research inquiry regarding the costs related to leaving pressures. I suggest everyone who answers say they are struggling financially so that the government may provide more assistance.

P

This call is not from a person; it's an automated dialer that randomly selects phone numbers to contact.

The caller said that they were from the Australian Research Centre and they had a one-minute survey about the cost of living. I often answer surveys for Roy Morgan etc., so I fell for it. I answered "yes" or "no" to questions about general brackets related to income, age, mortgage, etc. They asked my first name at the end to go into a $1,000 prize draw. I don't think I gave away any specific personal details except my first name, however now I am worried that my voice will be spoofed.

C

I received a call from an automated female voice claiming to be representing "The Australian Research Centre," which is not a legitimate organization.

I received an automated call that began by asking, "Are you over or under 58?" I hung up immediately because it was unsolicited. Interestingly, I had just called a legitimate Queensland Government number to participate in a survey and was still waiting for their call back. The timing felt too coincidental!

G
