B
Bertolino
Scam

The call sounded highly automated and was undoubtedly a scam. The caller claimed to be contacting me from Melbourne. It is frustrating that telecommunications companies can't seem to do much about stopping these fraudulent calls!

B
Billinger
Scam

I received a scam call where the caller spoke in Mandarin, claiming to be from the Chinese embassy and stating that they had an important file that required my attention. It felt suspicious, so I hung up right away.

W
Warburton
Suspicious

I missed a call from this number, but they left a voicemail. The voicemail was left by a man who seemed to know a fake name I had used on one of my social media accounts. Be cautious and avoid sharing your real name publicly.

T
Thurston
Suspicious

I received multiple calls from this number at 7 AM and again at 6 PM. Each time, they kept me on the line without any clear purpose. It’s frustrating that Australia is known for distributing SIM cards and phone numbers without adequate identification, which causes confusion and unwanted calls like this.

K
Kolb
Scam

This caller is nothing but a disgraceful scammer. They did not leave a message, and I find it disrespectful that they chose to call on Anzac Day. Respect for such significant days is necessary!

H
Hearn
Scam

This number calls and disconnects after just three seconds. When I tried calling back, it rang for a long time, and I heard a message stating that the call was in a queue. It appears that this is a scam operation.

B
Barreto
Suspicious

This number called me two days in a row and only left a voicemail with my surname. It felt suspicious and untrustworthy.

A
Abbas
Suspicious

This number keeps calling me but never leaves a voicemail. When I called back, I was put on hold and the caller refused to identify themselves.

C
Cowling
Spam

This caller was trying to sell solar panels and even addressed me by my last name. When I asked where they obtained my phone number, they claimed it was from the general census. I am highly skeptical since that kind of data should be private, suggesting they may not be truthful or there's something suspicious going on.

P
Pierpoint
Scam

I am becoming increasingly frustrated with the daily calls from scammers. It seems like every single day I receive a call, and I'm tired of these criminals invading my phone.

H
Hourigan
Suspicious

I answered the call, but they hung up on me within seconds. When I called back, I was met with just hold music, which feels very scammy. I have reported this number to ‘Spam Reporting Australia’ at 0429 999 888.

W
Wegner
Suspicious

This call was from a random person. It's best to ignore and not engage with them.

T
Trillo
Suspicious

As soon as I answered the call, the caller hung up without saying anything. They did not leave any message behind.

J
Jaskiewicz
Spam

This number has called me multiple times—including today, February 15th, February 25th, and January 16th—always after work hours. The exception was the call on February 25th. My phone identified the number as suspected spam, so I did not answer and blocked the number today. These calls have been very annoying.

A
Anonymous
Uncertain

I don’t know what they want. I get a call from this number every week, blocked now!

B
Blow
Spam

This caller seemed to know my name and tried to pressure me into installing solar panels. I immediately hung up when I said I wasn't interested. It felt like a typical scam operation.

W
Welke
Suspicious

Someone called looking for an individual by name. They did not apologize for the wrong number and hung up immediately without any further communication. This behavior is unprofessional and concerning.

R
Raap
Suspicious

The caller asked me if my home has solar panels and knew my full name, but I have no idea how they obtained my personal information. This raises serious concerns about privacy.

N
Nagi
Scam

I didn't recognize the caller's number, so I chose not to answer. They didn’t leave a message, and after checking it here, it appears to be a scammer trying to reach out to unsuspecting individuals.

S
Saliba
Spam

I received a voice recording claiming they are "calling from the Australian Research Centre." This seems suspicious and may not be legitimate.

H
Hosack
Spam

This number has been calling me at least once a month for the past six months. Each time I explain that we already have solar energy and request to be removed from their list. Clearly, they have not complied, so I have now blocked the number.

W
Wilcock
Suspicious

After waiting for voice mails that never came, I decided to check this number on Reverse AU and found that many other people have reported being bothered by this caller. I'm grateful for the community providing warnings about this nuisance.

M
Muckle
Suspicious

I missed the call, but it went to voicemail. I could hear someone saying "hello" repeatedly, trying to get a response from me, but they waited silently for a long time. There was background noise indicating other conversations happening, which suggests they might not have realized they reached my voicemail.

S
Stanco
Suspicious

I received two calls from this number, but no voice messages were left either time.

N
Navarra
Suspicious

I received a call on my mobile from this number. Being tech-savvy, I recognize that many call centers use auto-dialing systems with answering machine detection (AMD). To avoid connecting with them, I answered and remained silent. As expected, the call disconnected within about five seconds. I immediately blocked this annoying contact number on my mobile phone.

S
Simkins
Suspicious

Someone with an Indian accent named Roger called from the number (03) 7046 6886, said his name, then hung up. I have blocked this number.

S
Smead
Uncertain

I’ve experienced trouble connecting to this number; it seems to leave automated messages without resolution. The calls seem to loop back on themselves, potentially keeping you on the line for an hour or more without connecting to a real representative.

P
Popper
Suspicious

I received a phone call from this number, and the caller left a message. They knew my name, which I found concerning. I chose not to return the call, and since then, they haven't called again.

B
Beacham
Scam

I was offered rebates for solar panels in Victoria. When I stated that I no longer lived in Victoria, the caller abruptly hung up. This behavior suggests they are scammers.

F
Fitzgibbon
Scam

I got the same call to they are scammers.

A
Ammon
Scam

Today, a number 03 7046 6886 called me, with a very strong Indian accent, said he is from government. But because of his accent, I don't quite follow what he is talking about. I believe he is a fraudster. DON'T Share your personal information and anything. BE CAREFUL.

H
Hines

Solar Panel Scammer.

A
