Phone and TV Prize Scam Reports for 07 3112 8769
Eight contributors have flagged calls from 07 3112 8769 (also written as 0731128769) involving unsolicited offers of free phones, discounted televisions, and prize promotions. The caller pattern involves claims of winning competitions the recipient never entered, paired with pressure to accept device offers. Multiple reports about 0731128769 mention callers using generic names like "Aiden" and "Harry" with heavy accents, and the company names provided-such as "HD mobiles"-do not appear to be legitimate Australian registered businesses.
A particularly suspicious report noted the caller claiming to represent "HD mobiles" from Pendle Hill, NSW, yet calling from a Brisbane-based number (07 3112 8769). When questioned about an Australian Business Number (ABN), the caller could not provide one. This type of geographic inconsistency and inability to verify credentials are common indicators of scam activity.
What Callers from 07 3112 8769 Claim
Contributors receiving calls from 07 3112 8769 report consistent tactics centred on prizes and device offers. One caller claimed the recipient had won a phone promotion through a company name that "meant nothing" to them. Another reported being offered a "half price deal on new phone or tv" with no prior contact or legitimate offer context.
When questioned, callers from 0731128769 have been evasive about how they obtained the recipient's phone number. One contributor specifically asked this question and received no response. When challenged about compliance with the Spam Act, one caller simply denied it was a scam rather than providing legitimate business credentials or information.
A notable characteristic is the use of automated audio sequences before connecting to a live operator-described as "dialler linked audios upon pick up"-which is typical of high-volume telemarketing or scam operations.
Call Patterns and Timing
Calls from 07 3112 8769 have occurred throughout the year, with at least two recent calls in March and October noted as arriving "today" by contributors. The calls are answered by a person, not voicemail alone, suggesting deliberate outbound dialling to active numbers. The allocation data shows 0731128769 is a local QLD service through Primus Telecommunications, yet the scam claims reference multiple locations inconsistently.
The persistence of similar tactics across eight separate reports over several months indicates this number may be part of an ongoing campaign rather than an isolated incident.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 07 3112 8769
If 07 3112 8769 calls you:
- Do not: Accept device offers, provide personal or financial information, agree to any payment arrangements, or return the call
- Do: Let it go to voicemail, hang up immediately if you answer, block the number on your phone, and note the time and date of the call
- Verify independently: If the call claims to be from a real company, hang up and call that company directly using a number from their official website-never use a number provided by the caller
- Question inconsistencies: Legitimate businesses can provide ABN, registered company details, and clear explanations of how they obtained your number. If a caller cannot or will not provide these, it is almost certainly a scam

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
I received a call from 07 3112 8769 offering me a free phone. Is this legitimate?
No. Multiple community contributors report 07 3112 8769 (0731128769) using prize and free device offers as bait. Legitimate prize notifications come via official channels you've actually entered. Callers from this number have been unable to explain how they obtained your number or provide valid business credentials. Hang up immediately and do not engage.
The caller from 0731128769 mentioned a company name I didn't recognise. What should I do?
This is a major red flag. One contributor reported 07 3112 8769 (0731128769) claiming to be from "HD mobiles" but failing to provide an ABN and claiming locations in multiple states. If you receive a similar call, never provide personal information. Hang up, and if you want to verify the company, search for it independently online and call using an official number from their website-not the number the caller provided.
Why does 07 3112 8769 show as a QLD number if the scammers claim to be from different locations?
Scammers frequently use number spoofing or legitimate telecommunications services to mask their true location. The allocation data shows 0731128769 is registered to Primus Telecommunications in Queensland, but this does not mean the actual operator is running a legitimate business from that location. One contributor noted the number claimed to be in NSW while calling from Brisbane-a deliberate inconsistency used to confuse victims.
A caller from 07 3112 8769 asked for my banking details to 'confirm the prize'. Should I provide them?
Absolutely not. Legitimate companies never request banking details via unsolicited calls to confirm prizes. This is a direct scam tactic. Hang up immediately and do not provide any personal, financial, or payment information to callers from 0731128769. Report the call to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au.
I asked the caller from 0731128769 how they got my number and they wouldn't answer. Is that normal?
No. One contributor specifically asked this question to a caller from 07 3112 8769 and received no response. Legitimate businesses can explain how they obtained your contact information. Refusal to answer this question is a major warning sign that you're dealing with a scam operation.
What should I do if 07 3112 8769 keeps calling me even after I said I'm not interested?
Block the number immediately on your phone. Report it to the ACMA at acma.gov.au and register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au. If calls continue after blocking, document the dates and times and report again. You can also report the number on Reverseau to warn other Australians about 0731128769.
