Unsolicited Solar Push: Scam?
Summary — +61862885640
Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, this call masquerades as official help but reeks of deception. The persistent push for solar rebates, poor English, and quick pivot from 'federal government' to 'linked' screams scam tactics designed to hook the unwary. Hang-ups on answered calls suggest automated dialing for live prey. Don't engage—block the number immediately and report it to authorities like the FTC or ACCC to shield your data. Verify rebates through official channels only; never share personal info over unsolicited calls. If pressed, demand written details and end the call. Staying vigilant keeps scammers at bay.

The call was cut off as soon as I picked up.
The caller pretended to be from the federal government, struggled with English, asked about solar panels and a rebate; when I said the government never cold‑calls for rebates, he claimed a link to the government and kept pushing, even offering an in‑person visit, so I hung up out of boredom.
