Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone out there is going through the same thing as me and my mate and possibly knows what it is.
On the Friday 1st September between 12:00PM - 2:00PM I recieved three phone calls. The first two I would go to answer the phone and say hello, I hear silence for about 2 seconds then it disconnects. Third time I let it ring out and did a *10#, only to find out it's a private number.
I was concerned at the time but had since forgotten about it, then today (Thursday 7th September) at 12:51PM and 1:15PM I got the same sort of call, 2 second silence and hanged up.
I talked to my mate and he said he'd been getting similar calls as well at around midday.
I've ruled out the mobile phone scam that they ring for 1 second leaving the number in the hopes you'll call them back since they didn't leave a number (private number) and the third time on the first day I let the phone ring until it rang out. I asked everyone I could think of and no one was trying to call me.
I was thinking someone wanting to rob our house and seeing if I'm home or a disgruntled eBayer but hearing how my friend was getting them as well I ruled them out.
So wondering, do you or anyone you know receive weird phone calls like this, or have any idea what it could possibly be? Also share your own tales of phone scams in the hope of educating others :thumbsup:
EDIT: Sorry forgot to mention we're in Victoria. Also he thinks its some kind of scam where when you answer you get charged but that doesn't seem possible?
