Oh I got an fairly aggressive final notice text about paying my TOLL road bills just a while ago …..that’s strange …. we don’t have any toll roads in SA The closest toll road to be would prob be …in Melbourne city ( Victoria ) that’s about 1.200 + Km from where I’m Of course the text message had links for me to follow to pay the bill NOW …… These scammers never give up do they
Well, it looks like I was wrong. And apparently so were the people who reported the number as being a scam. I got another Voice Mail message today from the number identifying itself as WellCare, and I also got a letter from them. It seems there is a problem with payment (I send a single check for the entire year's premium because the amount is so small, and something happened with the transaction this year.) So if those calls are not legit, it's one heck of a coincidence. And if it is legit, I'm angry that WellCare did not contact me when I filled out the online form reporting that toll free number as being a scammer...it's actually theirs!!! maybe Anyway, this one may have been of my own doing. But it's weird that the number got reported inline as a scammer. I can see people not realizing that it's a legit WellCare call if they thought everything was fine as I did (and could not find that number on the WellCare website), but who is reporting that number as a fake IRS call?
I’ve got no idea how Aussies would go about reporting a number as a scam @John Brunner I’ve never seen any number advertised as a reporting hotline …..it would be interesting to find out not that I’d prob bother …I’m getting a few scam type emails I’m not sure where they are coming from ( investment schemes ) but I mark them as spam and they disappear
We have an agency that's called the Federal Trade Commission. They set up a Do Not Call registry that is supposed to prevent telemarketers from calling. It does not stop legitimate businesses, political organizations, charities, etc from calling, nor can it stop scammers from violating it, but it cuts back the volume. My number is registered, yet I still get calls selling extended warranties for my car. There is a way to report such potential violations of the Registry, but I've not done it. Here are some Aussie resources: Australia Communications and Media Authority site to report a scam Australia Communications and Media Authority site to register your phone so telemarketers do not call you
Every single day, I have 4 or 5 emails which are clearly scammers. I merely report them and delete them without even opening them.
I’m getting lots of junk in my inbox / emails at the moment I presume is scammers …I’ll deal with it after by reporting as spam and deleting ..,that one problem with using a iPad I can’t work out where spam is for I move to junk them use my old laptop to report to spam
