this number rang me. 0402 899 856. When I rang back the Indian speaking man told me he was from Department of Human services. He asked for my customer number. When I told him I didn't have it with me he said he had my file then asked to verify my name. I then asked him to tell me my name as he had my file. He couldn't do this so I hung up.

They are ALL for Centrelink debts.
They DO outsource to Dunn and Bradstreet

You number is dialled by a machine and a little while after you answer it is connected with a call centre operator who is in Collections

I received a phone call on Saturday 17/12/2016 claiming they were from Dunn And Bradman Debt collection agency. They wantede my details and claimed I had been overpaid with centrelink by $900.00. I told them I am not on centrelink payments so how could I have received any money. I hung up promptly. The number they rang on was 0402 899 856.

Dunn and Bradstreet called for my Centrelink debt, said i cannot afford. They became abusive (started swearing and calling me a no hope loser) and threatened to take me to court if I did not pay by end of financial year. Over a centrelink debt of $350.. yeah yeah sure buddy. Blocked number

Dunn and Bradman debt collection agency- Called me from 5 different phone numbers and refused to tell me the purpose of the call until I gave them my full name, DOB and mobile number. When i wouldn't- they hung up.
I also had an unknown Centrelink overpayment and the department of human services confirmed that this information had not been supplied to a third party collection agency. Scam, scam, scam.

Caller: team leader

After threats they called police on me so I did to and told police about all the numbers and if they contacted me again I would press harassment charges no more calls do the same thing contact police with all their numbers. Put these non Australian gang rapists out of business. Aussie Aussie Aussie

Calling constantly. No voicemail or messages being left.
Had an overpayment from Centrelink overdue and paid it 2wks late. Not sure if it's related but have no debt. So debt collectors should not be chasing me. Annoying that Centrelink overpaid family support benefits. We ended up earning too much and they want their money back. But it's not legit if Centrelink passed the debt to third party debt collectors. Especially as Centrelink never sent any warning of this. It seems somehow a third party is obtaining Centrelink information? But I'm just speculating.

Anyway, blocking the number now. If they can't leave a voicemail to explain why they're calling then they don't deserve a response. Too much fraudulent activity these days to take such risks.
Also, if Centrelink need to contact me they usually send me emails and letters via MyGov.

did not speak

hangs up on answering.
called numerous time same result

For the past week have been receiving hang up calls & txts demanding i call a 1300 # with a reference # 'regarding an important matter'. Yeah right! Blocked them but the bastards are still getting thru to my v/mail. Judging by the comments of others here...why the he'll doesn't some governing body do something????!! This type of harassment surely is prosecuteable?? Unless of course this current desperate government is behind it; on yet another one of their fraudulent persecutory cash grabs. ?Conspiracy theories are always born from some element of truth.

Dunn and Bradstreet

spam

I got letters in the mail from Centrelink stating I owe money back, this number rang me and I gave them all my bank detail- I chose for $20 repayments per week. It’s not a scam- you can log into MyGov.com and look at Centrelink debt you owe. Each week dun and brad street take $20 automatically, and my debt is $20 less....

they been calling me 3 to 4 times a week!
asking me my full name and DOB and when i ask what they want it for they cant disclose it to be unless i tell them what they need!

i told the person on the phone to delete me from their system and stop calling me he said he cant do that unless i give them what they want (DOB and my address) which i not comfortable giving them. but they have my old address i wonder how they got it!!!

he told me since i never give him what he wanted he cant process it.
i told told them he can call me 100 times i still answer the phone because i using this number!!!

to cut it short these people dont understand simple english and they will go in circle and the problem is not solved!!!

i have block many of their numbers and they still call me using new number!

any idea what these company want from us?

How can we stop this scam? They keep ringing even I blocked the number. It seems going on for years. Creepy and annoying.

FAKE debt collectors

computerised voice leaves the last few digits a number to call, claims it is urgent.
of

keep ringing me .... I wish they would piss off

For the past month this number keeps calling and they are dept collectors, apparently I'm in the of $3,266 and they are rude, and give threats. Saying they will send me to jail and take everything I own, and they keep sending letters to my house saying to pay this money, I don't owe. It's giving me stress as I'm only young out of high school
