I had one on the phone when i was in Tas John, said they were from some government department re bank charges? I asked a few times What Dept? sounded phoney dept i'd never heard of, she had an indian accent but it was an 02 number, needed to verify who i was, wanted my birth date and said im owed all this money, that was the trigger! i said piss off scammer and hung up.
I rang Aus Scam centre about it, and it was a known scam, what they try and do is make a profile up of you, may not be in the one call but weeks or months later they ring again, it will be a different person, totally different story Asking different questions, Identity Theft! the 02 number i found out was a skype number.
This was all because i started a new house number Telstra put it in the white pages, its online its world wide! So i had to get it made silent. Due to security these day i don't think they should automatically list your number unless you ask for it to be listed, Aussie Phone Books one thing, but putting it out on the WWW should be optional.
