J
Jennison
Suspicious

I received a missed call from this number, but they left no message. It's worth noting that I'm not located near Yarra Valley, which makes this call feel unusual.

S
Silber
Suspicious

The caller mentioned they were conducting healthcare research but failed to identify their organization or location, which made the call feel suspicious.

W
Wong
Suspicious

I'm frustrated as to why we are being called at random times, intruding on our personal time. These calls are unwelcome and disrupt our daily lives.

V
Valderrama
Legit

This call is not spam or a scam; it appears to be from TKW Research, a legitimate market research company conducting surveys. I checked their website to verify their identity.

S
Stead
Spam

I received a short call from this number with no message left. After seeing other reports about this number being spam, I have blocked it.

V
Venezia
Suspicious

The phone rang, but then hung up without leaving any message.

M
Marco
Spam

Spam.

V
Voltaire
Spam

My mobile detected this call as spam. I find it frustrating that these callers only let it ring for about 15 seconds before hanging up.

O
Ohlson
Spam

I received a call regarding a survey on behalf of Goulburn Murray Water. I informed the caller that I am registered on the Do Not Call list, and if they call me again, I will file a formal complaint. The caller began speaking over me, so I told them to take their form script and leave.

S
Storer
Suspicious

Although I never answered this call, my call blocking app, Hiya, identified this number as a recurring nuisance. I have already blocked this number twice, yet they keep calling from different numbers. If I won’t answer my best friend’s calls, I definitely will not answer this spam caller who is likely after my personal information.

E
Erhardt
Scam

I was a victim of a scam involving a water company, costing me thousands over the years. It turned out to be an inside job, so I hired a lawyer, which helped me secure some free water for a while, but I didn't get all my money back. To summarize, I suspect that I mistakenly provided my personal information to someone, leading to me receiving fake bills with a different account number. Upon discovering an older bill with the correct account information, I realized what had happened.

O
Ocampo
Suspicious

I got a call from this number where the caller asked me about my favorite AFL team and my state of residence.

M
Monaco
Spam

This number claimed to be from Quantum Market Research and wanted to ask me “two quick questions” regarding my support for AFL teams, specifically the team I support and my state of residence.

R
Ress
Scam

I received a call from this number, and the caller, who had an Indian accent, asked, "Which team do you support?" The conversation seemed insincere, clearly suggesting it was not genuine. I suspect this number is another local Australian number being used by an overseas scam operation, likely based in Mumbai or Kolkata.

C
Coombe
Suspicious

The caller claimed to represent a market research company and wanted to ask me “two quick questions” regarding my support for AFL teams. I told them I have no interest in AFL, and I found it odd that they were conducting research on this topic, especially since they called my work phone, which is registered to a NSW address.

R
Ripp
Suspicious

The caller claimed to be from the Victorian Department of Health conducting a survey. He quoted a toll-free 1800 number, but his speech was stuttered and unconvincing, leading me to believe this was a scam attempt.

H
Hazelton
Legit

This number belongs to a legitimate market research company based in Seaford, Victoria. I can confirm that they are definitely not a scam.

L
Lindquist
Spam

This number continuously calls my mobile phone despite me being registered on the Do Not Call list. It's quite frustrating and bothersome!

C
Cea
Suspicious

The caller claimed to be from Quantum Market Research, representing YVW. They wanted to conduct a survey via phone but refused to send me info via email. I declined to participate, feeling that less interaction is better in this case.
