Called several times last few days but never leaves message. Have now blocked this harassing loser scammer.

The very first time they called it was in evening and as I was expecting a call from someone, hurriedly answered it. After I said hello? No one responded so I repeated myself a couple more times but there was just silence on the other end and then they hung up. I called the number back straight away (as it looked like a local number) and I got connected with a recorded message for Audika in a neighbouring suburb. So I hung up straight away and checked the number for Audika for that particular suburb and it was totally different!

So it would seem this scammy f***er is stealing and using legitimate businesses recorded message info etc to scam ppl.

Definitely Block and report to relevant authorities if you can, folks.

Rings about twice a day and never leaves a message. Has been harassing me for over two months now, even though they are blocked the call still registers as a missed call.

I returned the call and it appears to be some type of organisation that tests hearing. Scammers touting for business.
