Scammers behind this number push multiple tactics, from fake family emergencies like 'Hi mum, lost my phone' to bogus government rebates for solar panels worth $4000. These calls aim to extract money or personal details quickly. Hang up immediately without engaging—never share info or send funds. Block the number on your phone and report to authorities like the Australian Communications and Media Authority. Enable spam filters and verify any rebate claims directly through official government sites. Staying vigilant prevents falling for these common grandparent scams and rebate frauds.
