Proceed with caution when receiving unsolicited calls, especially those flagged as suspicious. These reports describe persistent spam attempts, including automated messages in Chinese and fake offers from supposed Vodafone reps who don't check if you're even a customer. Such tactics scream scam, aiming to trick you into engaging or sharing info. Block the number immediately, report it to your carrier or authorities like the ACCC in Australia, and never respond to voicemail prompts or return calls. Enable spam filters on your phone to cut down on these nuisances. If they leave messages, delete without listening further to avoid any hooks.
Received a nuisance spam voicemail asking to press 1 for Chinese; the number was marked as a suspicious calling pattern. Call has been blocked, reported, and deleted.
Encountered a scammer posing as Vodafone, offering bogus discounts. I didn’t even realize I wasn’t a Vodafone customer. What idiots!
Another Vodafone scammer called, pretending to offer discounts. They were shocked I’m not a Vodafone subscriber – well, they aren’t either!
My phone indicated a dubious pattern, with calls at 4:24 pm and again at 4:30 pm. When I attempted to call back using the 03 prefix, the line was unreachable—likely a scam.
Unwanted Chinese‑language voicemail, clearly spam.
The call went unanswered, and my device displayed a “Warning – suspicious number” alert above the caller ID.
