Fake University of Sydney telephone survey

The University of Sydney has received reports that members of the public have been contacted on their phone by someone claiming to be conducting a survey about relationships on behalf of the University.

The caller asks people to provide personal information, for example, an email address and date of birth. Participants are sometimes offered a Coles voucher for providing this information.

Please be aware this survey is fake, and this issue is being managed by NSW Police. Anyone who has been contacted in such circumstances is encouraged to report the matter to their local police station using the event number E110030202.
