got a call from this no saying. they are from immigration department and saying there are many complains on me. I wanted to talk to them, but they ended the call knowing. they have been played as well.
Didn't answer the call as I didn't recognise the number. Called the number back and got message saying call could not be connected. Obviously using spoofing technology to make a fake mobile number appear on the screen when calling. Definitely dodgy.
Recorded message from 'home affairs' stating my name is being used illegally and there is a warrant out for my arrest. Told me to press 1 immediately. I hung up instead!
Received a call from them just now. Once an agent started talking, I asked for my name right of the bat. I didn't provide any details and he became very aggravated and started threatening me. Please do not answer.
