Scam call. An Indian accent woman claim that it’s calling from home affairs department when I challenge her how to verify her, she sounds extremely rude and tell me to come and see her face to face. This is a scam call.

Caller: Scammer masking Australian Migration Services' number

I screened out the first call, Second call immediately came through with caller ID as Australian Migration Services - a migration advisory agency in West Melbourne (not the department of immigration at all).
The caller was female with an Indian accent.
She first confirm my Christian name (not on my official documents) and state that:
1. She's calling from the Australian government - dept of immigration
2. They have intercepted my "Chinese" passport.
As I was confused I have no CHINESE passport, the caller asked if I had any relations in China (?), to which I respond "No, I am Australian. "
The caller then stated : " okay we will send you an email within 15 minutes " and hung up the phone.
A third call came through but disconnected before I can answer.
I call the number back, a lady with a chinese accent answered after an official sounding IVR (male, official voice ). She advised me that this has been reported to the department of home security (or similar) - a scammer is masking their phone line.
I wouldn't hold my breath on that promised email from the scammer XD
