I just answered a call from this number. They are from Cigma financial group calling about tax incentives. She asked if I worked full time and was a home owner - I lied and said No! End of phone call.
GOT a call today from this number they didn't leave a message. Tried calling it back and only got music. Very frustrating when people call and don't leave a message and then don't answer when you call the number back to find out what they called for.
Yeah got a call from a Downie, lived near fawkner cemetary and calling about tax.
SCAMMER who pretend to be taxation office worker, read out a "police warrant" against you for tax evasion. They not going to explain any reasons why you get charge because they are "workers" who call you to read out the charges only, it is their investigating team who charge you. They will stir fear in you and kindly give you two options.
One options is to legally fight against them and pay a 97k fines if you lose the case, as for the 2nd option, they will "kindly" offer you to settle out side court if you pay your "tax". If you chose 2nd option, the scam begin.... They will "assist" you to pay by some gift cards, the reason behind this is you can pay anonymously and there will be no bad credit record left behind in the record of the taxation office(sounds like they really care of you).
They are try to confuse you when you feel panic. Don't buy into it, good luck!
Called a few times in the last few weeks. Finally got to phone in time and answered to have a girl with an australian accent "well she's not a nice mum is she?" and hung up.
Not sure why they keep hanging up each time, but they're Cigna Wealth trying to give financial advice to home owners in view of the pension-drawing age potentially being lifted to 70.
Called twice in 3 days. Missed the first one and tried to call back unsuccessfully.2nd call I answered and what appeared to be a woman/girl said "Cold today wouldn't you say!". Then hung up..
I recently got a new phone so I wonder how many times this number has called me in the past.
Thanks every one for the info, I got my first call today but didn't get to answer it on time, I hope is the last one as I run a business and can't be bothered with this stupid calls.
I also keep getting calls from this number but missing them so they come up as missed calls. If I try to call back, it just rings out and says the extention is not available.
I added this number to my contacts on an I Phone scrolled to the bottom of the page the activated "Block Contact". I shall see if this works.
Got a missed call from this number today. Looked on this website & found it was a nuisance call. Thanks to previous posters! Blocked it.
This number keeps calling my mobile. How do I stop this from happening? The caller I n the other end doesn't say anything but I can hear background noises. How can I stop this person from calling?
I got a call from this number couple of time and still getting it. Person from other side knew my name and when I respond him, he hang off. Now I am gona block this number. It is really irritating.
I told them that I'm not interested and to stop calling, that there a scam. They just keep calling and when you answer they just hang up. I'm getting really pissed off.
I have had a few calls from this number over the last couple of months. Mostly late at night, it sounds like kids or teenagers accidentally calling or pranking most of the time but originally it was from the cigna financial group. Definately a scam.
I have been called twice by this number claiming they can get me tax returns due to new legislation... Told her fuk you and fuk Tony A.
Got calls from this number over a period of a week, always of an evening. I didn't know the number so I didn't answer. They never bothered me again. Best way actually... If you don't know the number (that shows up on mobile) don't answer!!!
Had been receiving missed calls from this number all week. They never left a message and when I called back it was always met with hold music and never answered.
They finally got hold of me at around 7:30PM last night. It was an English accented gentleman, who was reasonably pleasant. Appeared to be reading from a script because when I pushed him for answers he would often hesitate.
He kept telling me that they can give me financial advice that my accountant is unable to. When I told him that was likely rubbish as my accountant is a CPA, he kept reminding me he is just letting people know.
I asked how they make money and it sounds like they take cut of your tax rebate or whatever it is they claim they could get you.
Apparently the company is call sigma financial. They have a website and are in St Kilda, but I doubt the legitimacy of them if they have resort to these tactics. Unsure if you could call it a 'scam,' but something definitely smells fishy.
They called my mother, I decided to call back and a woman by the name of Teagan answered. Clearly seeing what they are, I'm going to give them their taste of their own medicine;).
Called multiple time. Finally answered. They claim they can save you thousands of dollars via claiming your tax and putting it to your mortgage or super. ITS A SCAM. Businesses don't call people out of no where. When I mention that I have read that this number is a scam, she didn't explain why its not she just hung up.
Called at 6:15pm today. Young Australian girl / woman. Asked 'Is this Emanuel?' And I replied "yes." Heard giggling and she hung up.
Tried calling back and only got music.
Called to make an appointment for a 'consultant' aka scammer to come to my house to save me a fortune on tax through a new tax legislation 15.5. They claim they are from a financial service company based in Brisbane. Cigna Financial Group. Be careful. It's a scam.
Received another call today after telling them not to call anymore as I am not interested, I asked who's speaking, I could only hear alot of background noise then they hung up, getting pretty sick of it ay..
Just got a phone call from this number and they are very professional. They are based in VIC and all speak good English. I answered and made the appointment because it sounded reasonable and because it was from an Australian number.
Thanks for the comments guys. Have now rung up to cancel the appointment.
My son received a call from this number today offering a tax rebate on his mortgage ;) he put them on to me and they hung up, I rang back and said my son received a call from this number but got cut off, the guy who answered said sorry it must of been a wrong number, I hung up, googled the number and seen what has been written here so I decided to call back, the same guy answered and I said that my son had been recieving calls from this number and I wanted to know what it was about, sure enough he started to tell me how they could get me a tax rebate! I said ok so basically it's a scam?? He starting laughing and saying you are very clever aren't you? I said yes and take my sons number off the call list, he continued to laugh and jeer me, I told him never to call the number again, he contributed to laugh, I asked do you understand English? He said of course I do I'm not the one thats from ireland!! I called him a racist idiot and hung up.
Got calls many times from this number, which I didn't answer but they never left a voicemail. Finally got annoyed and answered the call.
This is a scam claiming they can save you thousands of dollars via claiming up to 50% of your tax and putting this back into your mortgage or super. They insist on making an appointment for somebody to visit your house and sell you investment property and / or scam money out of you they claim they will invest. Tell them you are on the do not call register.
Had this number call tonight at 6.57pm. I answered and they tried to pronounce our surname and then hung up. He sounded English speaking. Although I have registered with the "Do Not Call" register we are still getting these types of calls. I am going to report it as a nuisance caller once I receive three calls of this nature from the same number.
I have received calls from this number. Missed the first couple of calls. Answered on and then they hung up. This number is sus.
Same here, in the last three days I have received calls from this number. Person hanging up just after I have said my name. Today received a fourth call and now the person said "I am calling on the behalf of Bruce.. And then hang up.
Next call I get be prepared as I will blow your ear drums out.

Thanks for the info.
Stop calling my phone and get a real job you pain in the arse.
