Expert Opinion
If you get a call from +61385839718 claiming to be "Eric" from a government heat‑pump rebate program, treat it with suspicion. Never share personal details or confirm any payment. Hang up, block the number, and verify the offer directly on the official website or by calling a known government line. Scammers often use official‑sounding names to add credibility, so a quick check can save you from fraud. Keep a log of the call and report it to your local consumer protection agency if you think it’s a scam. Staying cautious and verifying independently is the best defense.
