I Guess scammer pretending survey "Australia Life Opinions" which I never heard. Somehow they knew my full name, asked me.

“how economical crisis impact your assets?” Then as soon as I said “I’m not citizen so I don’t have own house...” they hung up.

They may check my name was correct for next step of scam, should not have accepted my name.
