What Callers from 07 3516 1020 Claim

Contributors report receiving messages claiming to be from courier companies. Two separate reports detail text and voicemail messages about package deliveries with fake tracking numbers. When contributors verified the tracking numbers directly with the courier companies, they confirmed the numbers do not exist and the messages are fraudulent.

Other reports describe voicemail messages allegedly from Q Super (Queensland superannuation) about account login troubles or access issues. These messages create urgency by requesting immediate callbacks, but one contributor noted the request felt suspicious enough to warrant verification. When another contributor who received a similar call rang Q Super directly to verify, the organisation confirmed no such account issues existed on their end.

One contributor who answered a call from 07 3516 1020 reported the caller requested personal details before being asked about call recording. The caller immediately hung up when told the call was being recorded, suggesting the caller was aware the interaction was inappropriate.
