They called to say I had agreed to advertise in their magazine. I had never spoke or agreed to this. They mentioned it was mental awareness or something similar

Claim they were from Bushfire Response Magazine and that we had agreed to advertising a few months back. Never did any such thing after being conned by Countyrwide Australia in Melbourne who does similar stuff for orgs like AiPol, Ambos etc. The call centre makes it sound like the organisations are contacting you and that the advertising is "local" which it definitely isn't.

Same as Craig, they tried to convince me that I had agreed to advertise in their publication 6 months ago and they now needed to take payment for it!

Caller: Helen

Scam still active, they go under many different "advertising" companies. "mental health awareness", "youth & community support", "volunteers association". ALL SCAMS!

She is still at it. Same story as other comments.

Caller: Helen

Scam. As per all the comments above. I've been told she's from National business association, then National Emergency response (My company works with them so it's certainly a scam) and we need to pay an invoice for advertising we agreed to 6 months prior of $5,000. Needless to say, I've been documenting multiple numbers Helen calls my offices on not realising she's speaking to the same person every time. The last call she was very rude telling me I needed to pay for the magazine/journal as they've already gone to print. Have reported to scamwatch ref #579040 if anyone would like to do the same. They call me on average 4 times a week.

Exact same thing here. Wants owners details and when I told her I would call back to confirm who they are she doesn't answer or rejects the call

Exact same story as Robyn.

Scam. They continuously ask me for the business owner's details. When I tell them it's me (it's not) they hang up

Caller: Lady claiming she was from yellow pages

yes someone just called me from this number and said they were from yellow pages asking to me send me a free information package and asked my name and mentioned my business name and asked me for my address and I said um no I don't need yellow pages I have Facebook and Instagram I don't need yellow pages then they quickly hung up and then when I tried calling them back straight it rung out I wanted to know how they found my business

Caller: Helen Walker

Soliciting copies of magazines we advertise in, claims to be gathering information for university student daughters research, must think we are stupid, however sent prepaid post pack with return address P.O. Box 335 Nerang QLD 4211 so I will send her the crap anyway.

Same here today only they say its Crime Prevention Australia, they claim I agreed in October last year which I know its a lie.
Its scam

Same as Craig's comment, Its a scam

Same as Craig of May 9, 2016. Called today to say advertising had been authorised with "Mental Health Awareness" - told person that no such agreement had been made.

Same as Craig's comment said that I agreed to advertise in their magazine never heard of them or agreed to anything obviously a scam
