“I got a call from someone doing fundraising and they wouldn't let me get a word in. I tried to be polite and suggested they rethink their approach to contacting people. They acted like they couldn't hear me, but suddenly responded when I directly addressed them.”
“I received a call from an unknown number in Melbourne, and they didn't leave a message. Since I don't have any connections with anyone in that area, I'm pretty sure it was a scam call. I went ahead and blocked the number.”
“I got a call from this number, and it felt really sketchy. I mentioned that I was going to record the call, and they immediately hung up. When I tried calling back, it said the number was disconnected. I decided to block the number after that experience.”
“I got a call from an Indian call center. The guy said his name was Richard from Green Energy or something like that. Definitely seemed like a troll.”
“I got several calls from this number over three days. When I answered, there was no response from the other end, and the call disconnected after about 15 seconds. Definitely seems like spam to me.”
“"I just got a call from this number again. Total time-waster."”
“I keep receiving non-stop calls from 0282295905. They never bother to leave a message, but the phone rings up to a dozen times a day. I suspect it's either an AGL call center or scammers pretending to be from AGL. Either way, it's beyond annoying to deal with this continuous flood of calls.”
“"I received a call from a company claiming to be Optichoice."”
“I keep getting almost daily calls from Opti-choice, and they usually start with 0485. They never bother to leave a voicemail. Every time I block the number, they just call me from a different one. If you try calling back, all you hear is a pre-recorded message with the caller's identity. It might not be a scam, but it's definitely getting on my nerves!”
“I got a call, but it only rang twice before they hung up.”
