What People Report

Scam

They asked me if I was (and used my correct surname). Unfortunately I said Yes and they hung up. I called back and got a Chinese message. I suspect they are looking to record the word Yes so they can bind you to a contract for something you do not want. Will wait and see.

Keep getting calls from this number within 2 mins - I hung up and no message left, the third time I answered the phone and I can hear its started recording - don't speak first you attempt to answer the unknown numbers. I have a feeling they might want to copy/ use AI to learn your voice and generate voice mails/ to scam.

Scam

A phone number from VIC claiming they are calling from "joondalup police station" which is in WA. The person speaks in english with a strong indian accent and unable to pronounce my name which is a very common english name. The person is also unable to pronounce the Joondlup. When spelling Joondalup she is obviously reading it out from a paper. Looks like a scam call to me.
