Analysis of User Reports

Users have reported receiving unsolicited calls, with many expressing concern about the nature of these interactions. The common threads found in the reviews include:

  • Identifying as being from the "Federal Government" while attempting to gather personal information.

  • Hang-ups when questions became too probing or when individuals refused to comply.

Classification: Suspicious Telemarketing

Based on the shared experiences, 0417 924 844 / 0417924844 seems to fit the category of a rogue telemarketing operation, aimed at collecting private information through deceptive tactics. The nature of the calls—pretending to be government-affiliated and focused on tax benefits—indicates potential scam characteristics. Regardless, this number is not officially recognised or verified as a legitimate government contact.

What to Do If You Receive a Call

If you happen to receive a call from 0417 924 844:

  • Do not provide personal information: Red flags include requests for your home ownership status or any financial details.
  • Hang up politely: If you feel uncomfortable, it's perfectly acceptable to end the call.

While reverse phone lookup services like Reverseau can assist you in finding information about unknown callers, it's crucial to stay vigilant when dealing with potentially illegitimate numbers. Remember, if a call feels off, trusting your instincts is your best protection.

Received csll, claims to assist in tax benifits for the home owner. Sounds and delay in answering when I have picked up the phone indicate call centre, most likely India due to the female speech. Hung up after indicatong not interested.

Yes he asked if I owned my home. I said I refuse to answer any personal questions over the phone. He knew my name he said he was from Federal Government. Alot of noise in the background claimed his name was Henry.

Scam

Number appears to be Australian mobile, but it is Indian call centre claiming to be "Smart Customer Service". They try to extract personal information on the basis they can help with Australian government tax benefit.

Tell them nothing.
