Scammer

Caller: Startrack

Startrack texted me on this number to inform me my parcel.was ready for pickup. Seems legit, but confusing why so many companies use this number

Caller: Scam

Have received two messages from this number:

(My first name), sign in to jobactive.gov.au/online-employment-service and do your job seeker snapshot to connect to employment services.

And second:
Appointment reminder Tuesday 18 Oct 2022 @ 03:40PM Fairfield US please arrive 10 mins prior. Reply Yes to confirm or No to rebook - Qld XRay

Obviously Fairfield US is American and we live in Australia. A bit scary that they have my first name. I am not on Jobseeker payment either

Told me my reservation for valley car park was reserved and the PIN number to use to enter the car park. Never heard of it and never booked it.

Unsolicited job opportunity. Reply Yes for them to call me back... it is unsigned, they don't tell us who they are.

From reading the notes here I suspect it is from employment agency Randstat. I dealt with them previously and they are unprofessional not surprised they send unsigned messages now.


Also reading other notes here, this number is some SMS marketing relay number and from the looks of it they have a number of different customers. Some of them could be scammers or at best unprofessional hacks like in Randstad... screw them

Caller: 0439 603 528

I received a message today about an Admin role from this number. Prompting to continue with YES and STOP to opt out.

They sent a message saying they were Foxtel. They seemed to know that l had an appointment with Foxtel. Hackers, scammers…whatever

Caller: City of Yarra Text message

So why in the name of the Good Lord would the City of Yarra think it was a good idea to use this number to send a text requesting I send further personal information back, regarding my parking permit - via text. It IS legit,(I checked their website) its just really poorly conceived and the number has a terrible reputation as this page show. Never send personal info to an unsolicited number is a golden rule for all of us.

Caller: joblife

Recieved a text to contact them. Claimed to be from joblife Australia. Bloody scammers. They knew my first name. Called the number back and its not connected.

sms with my name from local council saying parking permit are going on-line and require email .Check with the council by phone ,they telling me it's a scam .
Be careful people / THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK

I've received two texts from this number, over a year apart. One was from an electricity company advising a meter reader would be around shortly. The second one was reminding me a car service was due. It had my name, car rego and details of the company I purchased the vehicle from, and was correct in the timing of the service. Must be a third party messaging service.

just got one saying its foxtell
