Having already known my name raised my suspicion. The caller said they were conducting a Private Health survey, but the call felt illegitimate. I asked them not to call again. When I tried to call back to verify the company, I only heard a recorded “Customer Service” greeting with an American accent and no company name. I have since blocked the number.
Fake Rebate Alerts from Unknown Callers

Expert Opinion
Suspicious patterns dominate reports of calls from this number, pointing to potential scams disguised as surveys or sales pitches. Callers often hang up abruptly, know personal details without explanation, or push fake government rebates for solar panels from dubious Indian call centers. In one case, a health survey felt off, with an untraceable American-accented voicemail. Block the number immediately to avoid interactions. Report to authorities like the ACCC or Do Not Call Register for tracking. Never share personal info or confirm details with unknown callers. Enable call screening on your phone to filter unknowns. If pressured about rebates or panels, hang up and verify independently through official channels. Staying vigilant protects against identity theft or financial scams.
