I did not answer it because it looked like a scam from an unknown (to me) landline number in Melbourne. I live in Bendigo and have little or no business with any numbers in Melbourne. When I rang back a recorded message thanked me for calling "Health Scout" and said that one of their people would be on the line shortly, at which point I hung up. The caller number was +61 3 8563 1278.

They just called me today. The thing is, because of so many scams recently in Australia, I simply do not answer anyone that is not in my contacts. I do have a MessageBank® So, if they do not bother to leave a message, that only means one thing. It is not important and most likely a robocall.

Scam call or who knows what and I don't care to even callback to find out who it is. Because I see that this number being reported as a nuisance call, it is going on my block list.

Thank you all for sharing your experience with that number.
