I've also been called over the last couple of days from the following similar numbers, and they never leave a message so I've blocked all of them - (03) 9961 0265, (03) 9961 0267, (03) 9961 0282 and (03) 9961 0284. Surely they will run out of numbers soon.

Caller: Scammers

This is the 15th number I have blocked beginning with the same 03 9961 prefix. Mongrels keep calling and I keep blocking. Would love their home number to call them at all hours. They've rung at night time and even weekends. They need to be criminally charged as they're obviously criminals. Apparently they try to see who answers or has a voicemail or connected nunber as you're then a potential scam victim. As if anyone will answer and actually listen to them!

Caller: Scam

Here we go again. This is from the Kindness Charity people again. They have changed their numbers again. They have used this one as well as (03) 9961 0265. They are based in the philippines. BEWARE. As far as I am concerned they are a SCAM organisation and I have reported them to my telecon provider as well as ACCC. Time to get them back. If you ring the number you only get a recorded message and if you want to OPT OUT then leave your name and number. What a whole load of croc. They just keep ringing.

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: Charity Kindness Project

Charity Kindness Project scam call. It's not legitimate. If it was, it wouldn't be calling from so many numbers. So far they're listed against (03) 4108 9940, (03) 4108 9941, (03) 4108 9942, (03) 4108 9943, (03) 4108 9659, (03) 4504 2451.

Caller: I didn't hear their name mentioned

Another charity pest call. When will they ever stop.

Caller: Philipines call centre

Philipino accent in an overseas call centre spruiking an obvious fake charity disguised by a fake survey. They even have the hide to ask for regular direct debits.

Interesting...I also purchased from Temu shortly before starting to get bombarded with these calls.

Caller: Kindness Project

persistent non-profit "Kindness Project", called me twice a day for 2+ weeks before I answered and asked them to remove my number from their database (other numbers they call from are (03) 4504 2451 / 03 9961 02xx).

Caller: (03) 9961 0265

Unknown number. Missed call. Thanks for the RA comments. Number now blocked.

Scammers

Spam call from the (03) 9961 series. Blocked.

Why ring me if l am on the Dont Call register, AND on the opposite side of the country!!!

Caller: Scam Charity

This is a call from a "charity" called kindness project survey and is based out of the Philippines. I believe it is a scam and they keep changing numbers. this one also uses (03) 9961 0266, BEWARE. I had reported the previous numbers that they used so they are obviously now trying it on with another set of phones.
