These evenings have seen a surge of calls from a number claiming to represent Future Insight, often pitching free super reviews or mortgage cuts. The pattern matches typical telemarketing behaviour: persistent dialing, vague credentials, and pressure to act quickly. Guard your personal details – never share account numbers, dates of birth, or financial information unless you’ve independently verified the caller. Register the number on the Do Not Call Registry and enable your phone’s call‑blocking features; many carriers also offer spam‑filtering services. Report repeated harassment to the ACCC or the Australian Communications and Media Authority. Staying skeptical and limiting exposure are the simplest defenses.
I tried blocking alot of these numbers, but they just keep calling back with different numbers, its annoying.
The caller claimed to be from Guide Dogs Australia, and was selling tickets
No one answered when I called back.
No message was left by the caller.
I just block the number, it was a clever contacts scam, thank you for the tip.
Says there from ato and you owe dem money, lol no
The caller was selling lottery tickets for the surf lifesavings lottery.
Clever Contacts, a telemarketing service for charity fundraising, has been asked to stop calling but continues to do so.
