FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: ALL MEDIA

 We have been made aware of suspicious phone calls being received by members of the public from people claiming to be from “Freedom Connect”.

The calls appear to be a predatory attempt to get access to your personal financial information. The callers’ approach is described to us as persistent and aggressive.

We wish to assure our clients and members of the public that Freedom Connect Bookkeeping and Freedom Connect Systems is in no way associated with the recently registered businesses, Freedom Connect Australia or MBM Communications Pty Ltd.

Freedom Connect Bookkeeping does not provide personal financial wealth or financial management advice.  We do not engage external sales lead generation companies, and we do not cold call.

We have reported these incidents to the ACCC and will take further action if warranted.

If you receive one of these calls we encourage you to report the call to Scamwatch at www.scamwatch.gov.au or to the ACCC directly on 1300 302 502.
