Contributors describe callers using specific company names to gain credibility. The Vodafone impersonator contacted the recipient claiming to be from the provider, without being listed on official contact channels. The PayPal impersonator was notably evasive - the caller mentioned a specific transaction amount ($1300) and framed it as a security concern to prompt immediate action.

One contributor reported a garbled voice with an Indian accent who demonstrated prior knowledge by using their surname. When questioned for verification details, this caller immediately disconnected. Another caller from 03 7053 1591 remained silent for 11 seconds after the recipient answered, a common callback scam indicator. A separate report described a sales pitch for solar panels delivered with what the contributor described as a dodgy Indian accent.
