Have received several calls from (03) 8319 0327 asking specifically to speak with our son, caller always asks for son's name in FULL, (Christian, middle and surname). On each occasion of receiving such call our son has not been home, I ask what the call is in regards to, male callers state son has made inquiries for TAFE studies and they are calling back to discuss further. The caller always asks for son's other contact details for them to speak directly with him ..... I will never divulge information to anyone who calls randomly, saying I will pass message on to son. My son says at NO time has he made any inquiries for TAFE studies. Another call from (03) 8319 0327 at 9.12am WST 13 April 2015, male caller (gave name as Eilon) asks for son (full name again quoted) I asked Eilon his location (Melbourne), asked where is the TAFE located (NSW), so this is online studies is it? (Eilon replies "Exactly"). I asked Eilon for his phone number, which he refused to give stating many people work there, therefore is hard to get through to him directly, that he will phone back again later. Caller ID displayed call came from phone number (03) 8319 0327.
It is my opinion these phone calls are a scam of sorts and need to be investigated by authorities.

Same story as Peter. Some guy called me asking about if I wanted to study at TAFE. I've never submitted any interest in studying at TAFE and have no idea where they got my number from.

I had been receiving a number of calls from this number on my mobile but I chose not to answer as I didn’t recognise it and so I waited for them to leave a message but they never did. Finally got sick of the calls so I answered it. Girl said she was from such and such company representing TAFE colleges.
She said “I am calling you because you recently indicated you had a preference to take up studies with TAFE, is that right?”. I said “No”. She then said “are you interested in taking up a TAFE course”. I said “No”. She then said “thanks” and hung up.
Don’t know where she got my name or mobile number from.
