9 yearsMy mum almost got scammed by someone with the ref number 080456. They were trying to persuade her to buy a £400 iTunes card! Thankfully, she didn’t fall for it.iTunes9 yearsThese dodgy blokes rang my mum today tryin' to con her into buying a $400 iTunes card. They said her pension got stopped because she hadn’t answered some letters, which made no sense at all. I told the caller it was rubbish, then they hung up on us real quick.9 yearsGot a call from some automated woman’s voice claiming to be from Centrelink’s Department of Human Services. She said pension payments had increased and that I hadn’t replied to several letters (which I never actually got). Then she mentioned I owed back payments and that my case, file number 080456, had been forwarded to Canberra. They told me to ring (02) 90991767 to fix it all. Oddly enough, the exact same file number pops up with other people getting this scam call! Obviously, I ignored it and didn’t bother calling back.Department of Human Services CentrelinkCanberra9 yearsI got a call from this number - total scam alert! Honestly, never share your details with anyone who rings you out of the blue. They’re either trying to nick some cash or worse, grab your identity. The more urgent or serious they make it sound, the more you should be wary. Stay safe, folks!9 yearsMy mum got tricked by this number on Friday, it’s definitely not a real Centrelink contact. Total scam!Centrelink9 yearsSomeone called me saying they were from Centrelink and asked for my CRN number. I refused to give it, then they started saying I owed money and if I didn't pay up, the police would come tonight to arrest me. I just ended the call straight away. The callers sounded Indian. Best not to answer or provide any info, seriously.Centrelink9 yearsCalled this number today, 14/02/18, and got hit with an automated message. Once I dialled, another recorded voice said I'd need to hold for around 1 minute 20 seconds for someone to answer. Then it kept counting down: 50 seconds, then 15 seconds, then another 15, and so on. I tried again after 20 minutes, but it was still stuck on "15 seconds waiting time". In the end, I just gave up and hung up. Feels like a total rip-off, doesn't it?9 yearsToday, on the 12th of Feb 2018, I had a call from the number 0290991767. I answered and heard a recorded message saying my payments were stopped and that they had sent me loads of letters which I supposedly never replied to. They gave a reference number, 080456, and warned my case would be forwarded to Canberra. What’s odd is I haven’t had anything to do with Centrelink since 2011, so how on earth did they get my landline? Seems fishy to me, and from what I’ve gathered, this is probably a scam.CanberraCentrelink9 yearsGot a call from this number at 6pm today on my home phone. Centrelink usually closes way earlier, so it seemed a bit fishy. I’m not dealing with them right now, but I guess plenty of others are.Centrelink9 yearsGot two missed calls, one on February 6th and another on the 7th, 2018. Neither time did they drop a voicemail, so I’m guessing it’s just some prank caller.9 yearsI was pretty sure it was dodgy, so I just ended the call.9 yearsI got a call claiming to be from Centrelink, telling me they’d sent me some documents that I hadn’t replied to. Then they said because of that, my file was being transferred to their main office in Canberra. They then gave me a user code and asked me to ring this number to check my case. Total rubbish, it was obviously a scam. Don’t fall for it!CentrelinkCanberra9 yearsThis number rang me but I didn’t pick up, so it just went to voicemail with no message left. Glad I checked here first, seeing others had flagged it stopped me from ringing back.9 yearsThis number rang my phone earlier but as soon as I picked up, they just cut the call. I think they might have been trying to trick my wife because she doesn't speak English very well. It’s so frustrating! You'd think those in charge of stopping these calls could just block their phone line for good...9 yearsSo today I got a call and, stupidly, I shared my name, CRN and area code right away. Later, I had to check with Centrelink and ended up waiting more than 40 minutes on hold. Definitely should’ve been more careful!Centrelink9 yearsI rang the number and when I asked if it was some sort of scam, the bloke with an Indian accent just told me to piss off... honestly, so rude! haha...9 yearsDon’t be fooled, this isn’t Centrelink or any official government department. It’s a scam, probably trying to phish your info and who knows, they might even try to steal your identity!CentrelinkDepartment of Human Services9 yearsTo all Aussie pensioners, please watch out for these nasty scammers. I just don’t understand how these people can do this to us. I got tricked and lost $900, and honestly, I’m mad at myself for being so gullible and believing their lies. It’s just not fair at all.9 yearsI got a robo call from someone saying it was Centrelink, claiming they’d tried getting hold of me about a pension boost but couldn’t reach me. I just ignored it and didn’t answer.Centrelink9 yearsThere was someone who rang me with a really thick Indian accent, saying they were calling from Cranbourne.Cranbourne9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were from Centrelink saying my pension went up. I just ignored it and didn’t call back.Centrelink9 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were with Centrelink, wanting to verify my payments and asking for ID. Since I’m pretty new to how Centrelink works, I wasn’t really sure if it was legit or not.Centrelink9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Centrelink saying my pension got increased. They said they’d already sent me some documents that I supposedly didn’t send back. They said they’d ring me loads of times but I never got any letters at all.
