If 03 7068 8761 calls you, do not engage with the caller. Hang up immediately and do not provide any personal information, financial details, or identification numbers.

Verify any claims about Australian Government research independently by contacting the relevant government agency directly using a phone number from their official website, never using a number provided by the caller.
