Caller: Text says it is Big Village

(02) 8912 5632 sent an unsolicited text to my mobile saying This is Big Village. ABN: 39 126 100 276 In the coming days we will call to see if you can take part in an important study on behalf of a Government agency.

Does not refer to us by name nor the SUPPOSED Government agency. I do not recommend sharing with them and have blocked their number.

How many scam callers use the same tactics.
We are doing a survey, (nothing to worry about?). What is your name (nothing to worry about??) where do you live (nothing to worry about???) what do you spend your money on (nothing to worry about????) more and more details about you (nothing to worry about??????)

With most scammers before it is too late you have already given your bank account and password.

Stop telemarketing people.
No one wants to talk to you losers.
If anyone wanted to do a stupid survey WE would call YOU. - Losers ! ! !

Caller: Big Village on behalf of Tourism Research Australia

Had received a message Big Village would call me. With a sus name like that I expected questions on my travel habits as it smacks of "Smart Cities". That is exactly what I was told the survey was on "Travel and Holiday Habits". I told him I did not trust the Government and it sounded like fishing for data to justify their decisions on smart cities. He told me he didn't know what I was talking about and I was confused and hung up on me.

Unsolicited call, didn't leave a message.

Caller: Dave

Said he was calling from social service something. Didnt want to waste my time, so just hung up. Nuisance call

Caller: Market research

I called this number back and left a message for them to f*ck OFF

Caller: (02) 8912 5632

Received a text from this number: “ This is Big Village (ABN 39 126 100 276). In the coming days we will call to see if you can take part in an important study on behalf of a government agency.” Sounds sus to me, I’m going to block the number

Call me twice in one week and left no message which is quite suss

Knew better but answered "hello" - nothing there but some auto switching to an operator. Too late - I'm tapping out, I don't play that crap.
Pro -tip - you answer hello ONCE, then go silent, and see what happens. Stay silent, they don't know what to do.

Got an SMS from them asking if they can call about a survey. It's on my work phone and I won't be answering. I'll answer no, but I don't know if that will work.
