0480 039 417 - 0480039417: Suspicious Caller Claiming to Deliver Messages

So, this numpty called asking if I knew someone, and of course, I said yes. Then they dropped the bomb that they snagged my number from that person's social media. That's just blatant! I didn’t sign up to be a messenger for their business, and they think I’ll just play along? Get a grip! Even hanging up on them didn’t do the trick.

I have received a call from this number... They had my name and were asking about a Facebook friend The person identified himself as Taj and would not give me any information about the reason for the call.

I had a call from this number about someone named Edman or Emden? Can't quite put my finger on it, but they wanted me to pass a message. I asked if they meant Ben Fisk, since that name rang a bell from high school. It's all a bit dodgy, honestly.

Seriously, some people are hilarious! How’s this a scam when they're simply passing on a message and not demanding your info?

Just got a weird call from some woman with a strong Aussie accent asking if I know an "Alex." I said no, and she hung up on me like it was a bad joke. Very dodgy!

A woman called me from this number and she knew my first and last name. She asked if I knew how to contact someone that I don't know but had my same last name as if it was a relative.

The caller claimed to be from a private company based in Sydney and stated that they could not disclose their origin until I confirmed my name. Since they did not confirm my name, I will not be answering any future calls from this number as it seems suspicious.

The number called me while I was out, and since I didn't recognize it, I chose not to answer. They went to voicemail but left no message, leading me to block the number I suspect it could be a scammer or spam caller.

This number appears to be associated with a scam. The caller left a generic Telco message but then hung up, leading to the answering service. No message was left, which raises red flags. I recommend blocking this number to avoid any potential issues.

The caller reached out to my mother's number searching for me, but all they disclosed was that they were from Sydney. I don’t have any connections or business with anyone from that area.

I received a call from this number asking for an employee and the caller provided the full name of the employee. However, when I inquired about the company they represented, they simply stated "private company" and claimed it was regarding "a private matter." I felt uneasy when they specifically asked if the employee was a man in his early 40s, suggesting they might have had personal information about him.

This call was similar to others reported. The caller refused to provide details about why they were contacting me, so I did not engage further.

The caller claimed to be from a company but refused to provide any details. He was looking for a neighbor and asking for their information. I informed him that I haven't lived at that address for several years, and when I inquired how he obtained my number, he did not answer. When I attempted to call back, I reached someone else who also declined to share the company's name. I told her that I believed they were attempting to scam people and that I would be reporting the call.

An individual called my workplace, which is a real estate company, asking us to pass along his phone number (02 8836 4345) to one of our tenants. I looked up the number and found it linked to a scam. I have since notified the tenant about the call and advised him that it is a scam attempt.

The caller inquired about an individual supposedly living at my address. They accurately knew my phone number and home address, which was unsettling because I had never heard of this person before. They claimed to be trying to locate this individual, which raised my suspicion.

I received a call from this number, but I am unsure of its origin. Can anyone provide more information about where this number is based?

Similar to my experience, I find it hard to believe that they could access an old contact of mine through Facebook, especially since my profile is locked and private. This situation is genuinely unsettling and concerning.

This number asked me if I knew how to contact??? I advised I'd not been in contact for sometime.

She asked if I could call back, my response was how did she get my number, her response " from a Database that wasn't public. She also mentioned she had seen me comment on??? In Facebook.

I ended the conversation with I will be investigating how she managed to find my name and my phone number. Very suspicious!!!

I received a phone call from a woman who requested that I relay a message to a friend of mine. She repeatedly referred to the friend as "she," even though my friend is male. When I asked her to give me the number to write down, she hesitated and said she would text it to me instead. She also wanted to know if she could call back later to confirm that the message was passed on. However, she refused to disclose the name of the company or any details about the nature of the call, stating only that it was a personal matter. She provided the callback number (02) 8836 4373.

I received a call from a person asking for someone I haven't spoken to or seen in years. When I inquired how they obtained my phone number, they falsely claimed it was from Facebook, which I do not use. They also refused to disclose the name of their company. This behavior is alarming, and I have filed a police report for harassment, as it's clear they are not legitimate.

The caller rang my workplace (a real estate agency) and asked for client contact information. I refused to provide this information, and the caller, who identified herself as Shekinah, would not disclose which company she worked for. This seems to be a debt collector.

I received a call from this number, but the caller did not identify themselves. They asked if I knew our next-door neighbor by name and provided their address. I found this quite suspicious and ended the call because I was concerned about how they obtained that information.

A man named Chris called and asked for my neighbor's name and phone number. When I said I didn't know, he claimed he couldn't disclose how he obtained my information because it was from a customer database. I informed him that having my details without my consent was a breach of privacy. The call ended quickly afterward.

This number called asking for a family member but refused to disclose the name of their company or the reason for their call.

This number called me and did the same thing as before, but I am puzzled as to how they got my number and knew I lived near the address they mentioned.

The caller knew my name, even though my number is unlisted. They were trying to obtain information about a relative but refused to disclose their identity or the company they represent. I hung up on them and subsequently blocked the number.

The caller repeatedly rings my phone, and when I answer, they demand my personal information without verifying their identity or stating the purpose of their call. I refuse to provide any details over the phone due to their unprofessional behavior.

The caller asked me to relay a message to my neighbor to contact them urgently. They provided me with their full name and address and called from one number while texting me another number to reach them, which seemed concerning.

The caller asked to speak with someone at my address using a name that does not belong to anyone living here. When I questioned her, she refused to provide details about her employer and only stated it was a personal matter, which I found suspicious.

The caller has not given up! They rang my number and asked for my partner by name, claiming they were trying to reach someone else whose name I didn't recognize. When I asked which company they were representing, they refused to disclose that information.

Someone called me and asked for my partner by name, which was unsettling. Then, they inquired about our sister-in-law, claiming they were just handling a personal matter for her. My sister-in-law confirmed that she does not have any debts. After contacting the number back, it turned out to be a debt collector.

Just received a call from a female operator claiming to be looking for someone who had the same last name as me. When I asked why they contacted me tey said they matched up my last name with the person they were looking for and I said "What if you were looking for a John Smith? Would you call Every Smith? She did not respond.

I asked how they got my number? "sorry cannot disclose that", I asked what details of mine do they have? "sorry cannot disclose that" what is the name of the company you work for? "sorry cannot disclose that" Can I have my data removed from the database? "No unfortunately not"

Super dodgy.

Scam caller asking to place her details in neighbour's letterbox. This approach has been reported by others on other platforms. Be very wary. I suspect if you tell them you're not at home, then you might find an unwelcome visitor has been in the house when you get back.

The caller was looking for someone who shares my surname. I didn’t provide any information, but they could potentially be a debt collector or a scam.

Total low life scammer.

I received a call from a random call center, likely trying to collect a debt. They were asking for a person with the same surname as mine and requested my address and date of birth. They refused to disclose the name of the company they were calling from. I managed to identify the caller as Irene Bell and have since blocked and reported this unsolicited call as invasive.

Called asking if I lived at a certain address. Suspicious.

This caller claimed to have found my phone number and even knew my home address, which was alarming. She mentioned she was searching for someone named Luke, but I have no idea how she obtained my information.

A friend of mine received a call from this number, someone they hadn't heard from in 15 years! The tactics used by the caller are quite shocking and raise concerns about their intentions.

The caller claimed to be from a Sydney office looking for a person named Luke, insisting they needed to convey an important message to him. I informed them that I do not know anyone by that name.

A person called looking for someone else, leading me to believe this may be a mistake or a wrong number call.
