I answered this call since I had just received one from (03) 7049 4877. The caller did not mention my name and claimed to confirm a purchase of an iPhone I made from Amazon in America earlier that day, which I denied. After I declined to follow their instructions about downloading an app twice, the female caller, who spoke with an Indian accent, hung up on me.
