Even by normal lowlife scumbag standards, this lot are a persistent nightmare. A short message on my answering machine said it was someone calling from the "Kindness Project", scam callers who must have phoned me about 30 times now, from various numbers (almost certainly spoofed) and at different times of the day. I have never once answered the phone but that's no deterrent for these morons. I think they're going to keep trying to call me until doomsday.
Please do not answer calls from these bottom-feeding pests or this will never stop and they will actually scam people. Just don't pick up the phone if it's an unknown number.

I bought stuff on TEMU, immediately after I started getting spam phone calls from the numbers I have listed below. Your details will be sold to unsolicited and fake call centres, supposedly calling themselves charities. That is how all the stuff on TEMU is cheap. Here is the list of fake phone numbers that have tried to spam me so far, just in case you get a call from one of them. I have had multiple phone calls from each number, and this started on 25 May 2023 – less than one month has passed since this this post. They are trying to extract details out of you, don't fall for it. As you can see, they are very, very persistent and will cycle through a raft of phone numbers.

Caller: Kindness Charity

Getting daily calls from this and similar numbers. It's the Kindness Charity. Every day I tell them to stop calling me, but they change numbers and use different operators. I'm well and truly over this. I'm now programming my phone to only allow stored contact numbers to ring me. Hopefully peace at last. 🙏🏻

Rebate scam.

I get calls almost daily from Victorian numbers (03). I don't answer them and I block the call - but then same day or next - get a call from a similar number. Same happening with some mobile phone numbers

Vic number calling Perth and left no message

Caller: Thanking me for taking her call before asking me for money.

Warrnambool charity calling me in Mallacoota. WTF.

Caller: (03) 4513 1008

I've also been targeted after using TEMU. I'm so over this all I can think to do is contact my local MP. Action needs to be taken on the issue at large.

AGAIN! These rabid scammers will not stop. You no sooner block one of their many numbers than they call using a different one, starting first thing in the morning.
These lowlife scum are probably actually scamming people. Three billion dollars was scammed from Australians last year. Please do not ever - ever - answer calls from unknown numbers.
(And do please note, I will say again, that the Do Not Call Register has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with flood of scam emails being sent by criminal organisations operating in foreign countries where Australian agencies have no jurisdiction. Even if they could somehow be located, threatening to issue a fine to the criminal organisations running scamming factories is hardly going to stop them when they are reaping millions of dollars from their victims. We might as well ask terrorists to stop their activity because we don't like it.)

Rang twice today. No message

Please report these horrible annoying callers to https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/report-a-scam

Please make them stop ringing!

This number (along with a lot of other numbers from the same company "kindness project survey" and "Charity survey" keeps calling every day. They have been calling from the beginning of February and just do not let up. It is time to stop them.

Refer to comments for (03) 9961 0282

This number is one of many used by scammers. Don't answer calls from numbers you don't recognise. The company that has been allocated this block of numbers and many others used by the scammers is not OPTUS as some have suggested, but a company called SYMBIO NETWORKS. The authorities have issued warnings to Symbio regarding their inadequate response to reports of scam calls originating from their numbers. It appears Symbio is pushing the boundaries of legality, and thumbing their noses at the authorities. It is obvious they know scammers are using their services, but they are making so much money from it, that they don't want to give it up. The sooner Symbio is forced to get rid of the scammers, the better!

rang at 12.51 today. blocked again

Caller: Claimed to be the kindness people

Calling from Warrnambool. Charity asking for money.

Yep Kindness project still keep calling. I don't answer anymore. Why isn't the No call register doing something about these callers? I wish they would be kind enough to scam off.

Just ignore, block and delete is the best to deal with these kinds of calls.

I’ve had so many calls from this bunch ? related to a barred charity Kindness Project, that I don’t answer any call from a 03 number anymore. It’s about 3 scam calls a day.
