The text message I received was obviously a scam, but I was intrigued at the new (to me) “angle”: ring a number provided by “them”! No doubt, by self-identifying yourself as gullible, they would extract your bank account or credit card information.
I didn’t try to ring the number given (identified here as a scam), but given the “0” at the beginning, I doubt if it would work from a Australian phone.
