I received a call from a woman who was difficult to understand, claiming to be from "Roy Morgan Research." She asked me personal questions about my age, income, industry, and investments, and mentioned that someone would contact me regarding an "investment opportunity," emphasizing that I would only be contacted if I qualified. She already knew my name, which made me suspicious. I refused to provide details about my workplace or my email address.

If I get a call while at my desk, I can enter the number into Reverse AU and find out they are a scammer even before it stops ringing! And then I block the number from ever reaching me in the future. Hurrah!

J
Journey
Spam

I received a call from someone claiming to be from Roy Morgan conducting a lifestyle survey. In the past, these "lifestyle surveys" have led to repeated calls from health insurance comparison websites. To avoid harassment, I no longer participate in such surveys and hung up.

P
Plath
Scam

I received an automated call claiming to be from Amazon, warning me that terrible things would happen if I did not provide them with my information. I find these scams incredibly frustrating and wonder when the government and telecommunications companies will take action to stop them.

V
Venema
Scam

I didn't answer the call, reasoning that if it was important, they would have left a voicemail. Given that they did not, I concluded it must be a scam.

K
Klaus

I answered the call with my usual greeting, but the caller abruptly hung up without speaking. This makes me think they may have gotten my name from some source, which is concerning.

H

Barley
Scam

I received consecutive calls at the same time from the numbers (07) 3521 3073, (03) 9340 8188, and (03) 8560 4214, none of which I recognize. They appear to be part of a scam where they spoof various numbers. I missed the calls and did not attempt to return them.

H
Hedley
Suspicious

The caller knew my name and hung up when I confirmed it. This behavior seems suspicious and could indicate an attempt at identity theft. I've blocked the number and will change some passwords as a precaution.

Scam

I believe this call was a scam. The caller inquired about my annual income, and when I expressed that I valued my privacy and was uncomfortable sharing that information, the call ended abruptly.

P
Petermann
Spam

My Telstra phone displayed the number as 04..., although it actually showed as (03) 9340 8188. It took a bit longer to connect, and I sarcastically remarked, "Ah, my favorite scammers," after which they hung up. They are persistent and clever in their attempts.

Called hung up when I answered.

C
Crawshaw
Uncertain

More information gathering. Had same details correct but ultimately not fully correct.

H

Definitely a scam. Trying to get personal info from people by asking people to "complete a quick lifestyle/wellness survey after COVID".

They knew nothing about me and I enjoyed making up a few answers and toying with them, but potentially dangerous to the wrong person.

A

Spam

Missed a call, no voicemail.
