Ever wonder why that same unknown number keeps popping up on your caller ID? It’s usually a telemarketer or automated robocall that’s using a spoofed ID to slip past filters. The best defense is to let the call go to voicemail, then block the number in your phone’s settings or with your carrier’s call‑blocking service. Register your line on the Do Not Call list and report persistent offenders to the ACCC. Never share personal or financial details with callers who hang up or sound suspicious. If the calls keep coming, consider a third‑party blocking app that identifies known scam prefixes and filters them out automatically.
Got a call today about an unpaid bill for my dead dad's computer contract. Like, what?
Getting calls from 0011976000, and they know my name. Claiming to be from Microsoft technical support. Yeah, rite.
Probaby some scammers verifying details. So over it. Telemarketing should be banned. Still waiting for the 'Do not call' list to kick in. Should be the other way around - if you want to be called, you opt-in.
I'm in Toowoomba, Qld, and I just started getting calls from this weird number. Seeing the 0011 prefix, I'm not even gonna bother answering.

In Vic, I got a call from some dude, 'David' or somthing. He knew my name, asked about goverment benefits. I was like, 'Not home, mate.' He said he'd call back. Super scammy if you ask me.
Tbh, just tell 'em to sod off. If they're silent, tell 'em to get naked on YouTube. One for the money, two for the show!
Here's a fun one: pretend to play along, grab a chair, hold your phone up to the smoke alarm, and hit the test button. That'll teach 'em. Can't call anyone if they're deaf, rite?
So, I got two calls from this number today. The first time, they just hung up on me. The seccond time, some lady claimed to be Jenny from Microsoft, saying they'd been getting messages about me downloading virus's. Yeah, right! I asked for a callback number, and she gave me 02 9037 2906. But when I checked the number, it said 0011976000. Scammers, for shure.
It's like, I'm so tired of these guys calling me multiple times a week, saying nothing, then just hanging up. I'm in Vistoria, and it's got me all suspicious. I mean, what's their game? For the life of me, I dont get it. I'm on the 'Do not call Register', and I swapped to Optus in March, but still, they keep calling. Whoever's paying their bills must be getting something out of it. Get a real job, guys!
Brenda here, and I'm sharing my experiance with a suspicous call from this number. The guy, who sounded like he was from India, started talking about conecting my Windows PC to the internet and files loading onto my C: drive. I cut him off mid-sentence, telling him my antivirus software's got my back. Clearly, it was a random call - how would he know I even have a Windows PC?

I recently got a call, and when I didn't answer, they left a voicemail with a greeting and background noise before hanging up.
This phone number has been calling repeatedly, but the individuals refuse to identify themselves clearly, and the excessive background noise coupled with their poor English makes conversation impossible. The number I'm being called on is registered on the do not call list.
