Oddly enough, the same scripted pitch keeps popping up across dozens of reports: a friendly voice claims you entered a competition and offers a chance to win a $500 Countdown voucher if you complete a short survey. The pattern reveals a classic scam that harvests personal details under the guise of a prize draw. Callers often cite “Omni Lead” or “Brands of Choice” and may switch numbers to evade blocks. To protect yourself, hang up immediately, never confirm personal information, add the number to your phone’s block list, and report the incident to the local consumer protection agency.
Previous calls from this number have resulted in hang-ups when I answer.
Following participation in an Instagram competition, numerous calls were received from telemarketing companies, including this number, which has since been blocked.
For months, this number has been calling me on a weekly basis, despite being blocked, and the caller's persistence is alarming.
The caller attempted to arrange payments for an overdue loan.
There is no doubt that this is a scam, especially considering I never participate in competitions and a friend reported receiving an identical call.
A women, who claim her name is Robyn, told me I could win $1000 if I participate in a survey, she already knew my name, thats kinda creepy
Upon recieving the call, I didnt recognice the number or the organisation, so I told them to call me back after work, then I did a google serch for the number and ended up here, now I'm going to block them, I beleive.
They told me I was in a competion, but I think its a scam
They asked me questions about charities and told me I could win $1000, which sounded too good to be true, and probally was.
When I answered, they hung up, and when I tried calling back, I got an answering machine talking about some competition, so I decided to block the call instead, and it's been happening since just before lockdown, which is quite suspisous.
A call was received from this number, claiming to be from Omni Lead, asking to participate in a quick survey for a chance to win a Countdown voucher
The phone registers this as a missed call, yet the phone itself does not ring, suggesting a potential scam call.
When I answered the call with my business name, the caller immediatly hung up, which was quite odd. When I called back, it went to an automated voicemail from Omni lead, which was a bit confusing.
When I answered, there was silence, followed by a hang-up. This has happened daily this week.
Omnilead will keep calling, i block them after first call, but they still call me 4 time in few day, i call them back and opt out, we will see if it work or not
I dont know how they got my number, but they try to trick me into giving them my private information, very suspicious.
My number was passed on to atleast 15 companys and charities, they all wanted to sell me somthing or ask for mony.
Upon answering, the caller requested to speak with the recipient by name, prompting an abrupt hang-up
What struck me as odd was that they had access to an old email address and work address. I regret answering some of their questions before realizing it was likely a bad idea, as they now have my current address. The call quality was poor, so I hung up and blocked the number to avoid further contact. I'm skeptical that this was a genuine 'Lifestyle survey'.
At 11:12 am, a lady's call woke me up, claiming it was for a quick survey to win a $500 voucher, and although she apologized and hung up after realizing I was asleep, the experience left a lasting impression.
A survey was proposed, with a potential prize, but the conversation was abruptly terminated when personal questions were asked
A woman, who claimed to be from Brands of Choice, contacted me to participate in a survey, but things didnt feel rite, especialy when she asked for my personal informations.
I recieved a spam call from this number, dont recomend answering
I engaged with the caller briefly, and they had access to my outdated email and address; when I questioned their need for my power company information, they terminated the call
Further investigation revealed that the registered office of this company is located at 33b Links Avenue, Mount Maunganui, and ex-employees have shared their stories on Reddit, suggesting Omnilead and/or Unity 4 may be involved in harassment and selling personal information.
The caller alleged I had submitted an online form, yet refused to disclose any details about the form or their own identity, despite repeated requests
They claimed I won a competition I never entered – classic scam, very negative.
Numerous calls have been received from this number, with the caller changing their number when I don't answer, resulting in 13 calls in one day alone.
Despite having my outdated personal details, the caller asked me to participate in a lifestyle survey, promising a chance to win a voucher, but I remain skeptical due to the lack of transparency about the company.
As soon as I answered the call, the person hung up, which was quite strange.
