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.
