This mob are a con, they pretend to be affiliated with government grants and request a fee of $495 to have access to these grants. (By the way it is free to access these grants) The ACCC mentions them in the link below
Qoute The Australian Business Funding Centre (ABFC) www.australiangovernmentgrants.org is an example of a website which looks like it has some kind of Australian Government affiliation or official status. Unquote

They only rang once and didn't leave a message HOWEVER, about 6 weeks ago I was checking my Paypal account on another matter, when I saw a Pending Transaction for $250 to be paid to Australian Business Financing, which I had not arranged. I contacted Paypal to block the transaction. I only add this because the comment 'another possibility...' mentions this organisation in their list of businesses that may be associated with this number.

I want to know if this is legit company or not as their website is australiangovernmentgrants.org
Another possibility...
Mmmh, i think it's a call centre that has various businesses that it represents. Message left (am about to call them back), australian business financing- returning my call from a few weeks ago (i called a 1300 number).
he he, i remember working on one of the first ever call centres in australia back in the early '90s. we were APRA, Apple, Dulux, Commonwealth Bank.. gosh too many to name. 6 of us uni students working for a marketing firm in sydney. good money, great environment, flexibility considering the options when you are out of school and at uni, overtime on weekends depending on what advertising campaigns were on TV/ sunday newspapers.
Hear that the working conditions (not at that firm, but call centre jobs period) are the pits these days.
