Re mobile no 0420 102 562 clearly a Filipino female voice requesting to have me partake in 'survey' on the subject of the Australian Population (?????) First question... Yes or no to certain age brackets given. (who honestly is actually going to answer this crap when they give nothing as to who they are on the other end, business or otherwise.) Next question.....
