Expert Opinion
The +61399775956 line shows up repeatedly as a survey/market‑research call centre. Callers never leave a voicemail, often ring after hours, and hang up as soon as you answer – classic tactics to force a callback. If you don’t recognise the number, let it go to voicemail and don’t call back; scammers can harvest your number that way. Use a call‑blocking app or your phone’s built‑in reject‑unknown feature. If you ever get a request for personal or payment details, hang up immediately and verify the organisation through official channels. Blocking the number is the safest move.

Kantar Brisbane reached out. Called back and heard a message identifying them as Kantar Research, located at 100 McLachlan St, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006. Confused why they used a Melbourne number.
Following the call, I dialed back and got a voice message identifying the caller as Kantar Research, giving an address in Fortitude Valley, QLD, and a phone number. It struck me as odd that a Melbourne‑based number was used.
