Based on the comments, it's clear that the caller with the number +61466254839 is involved in a scam operation, targeting small businesses and attempting to collect money for supposedly legitimate purposes, such as advertising or donations to the SES. The callers are using an Aussie voice to sound more convincing, and they often have access to the business's name, number, and address. However, their lack of transparency and hesitance to provide further information when questioned are major red flags. The callers may also use tactics like transferring the call to a "manager" to add a sense of legitimacy to the conversation.
Personal information and money are the primary targets of scammers, who may use real phone calls, automated calls, or text messages to deceive victims.
I received a suspicious call today, supposedly from the SEC, offering advertising funds to small businesses, but it was a blatant scam with an Australian accent.
Beware of this scammer, who claims to be an Aussie and tries to deceive victims.
It's obviously a scam call.
A call from 0466 254 839 was received, clearly a scam, as they requested money for SES and knew my suburb, but were unable to disclose how they obtained my number.
Today, I was contacted by an indivijual claiming to represent the SES, who requested $440 from my small buisness and obtained my name, number, and adress, but no bank account details were provided, a manager named Zac was also involed.
An attempt was made to deceive a small business into donating $440 to SES.
Be cautious of Countrywide Austral, they're targeting small businesses for financial gain.
