Мнение эксперта
Amid rising hoax alerts in Victoria's restaurant sector, calls from this number often impersonate police associations to push fraudulent advertising or donations. Businesses report insistent demands for owner contact, laced with sarcasm, raising red flags about legitimacy. Official sources like tpav.org.au confirm neither police nor the association solicit sales this way—it's a classic scam tactic. One outlier mentioned Amazon, but the pattern screams hoax. Hang up immediately, block the number, and report to authorities like VicPol to curb these nuisances. Verify any police-related claims directly through official channels to avoid falling for polished cons.

A person identifying themselves as a police association contacted my restaurant today, but I was occupied and couldn't engage; the legitimacy of the call remains uncertain.
They tried to solicit a donation, but it’s clearly not legit—just call Centrelink, okay?
That guy Bill turned out to be a total scammer—watch out, folks.
Someone introduced himself as Bill Stewart and claimed affiliation with the Police Association, but after probing, he repeated the same claim and turned out to be lying; research shows no record of that name linked to the organization.
An individual claims employment with the police association; report the scammer to Vic Police.
Heads up: a hoax call is claiming to sell police‑linked advertising—don’t pay up, mate. The Police Association Victoria never does that.
This appears to be a hoax call (see https://tpav.org.au/contact/Hoax-Calls).
Beware hoax calls that allege they sell advertising for the police or "The Police Association"; such offers are bogus, as neither Police Association Victoria nor the police ever reach out for advertising sales. More details can be found at tpav.org.au/contact/Hoax-Calls.
A man calling himself Bill (or another alias) pretended to be police and a member of an association, demanding the restaurant owner’s or manager’s contact. I requested a message to forward, but he kept insisting on speaking directly. I told him that if he truly represented the police, he could look up the owner’s details himself—lol.

My restaurant received the same call, and I’m unable to return it.

Someone asserted they were police and asked about the restaurant owners, prompting doubts about the call's legitimacy.
