I have the exact same thing at the moment. They leave the same number and ask to talk to me on a matter of some importance. Originally they asked without giving my name, leaving a huge silent gap in the talk, before repeating the rest of the message with several other gaps for my name.

My parents apparently picked up the phone and were told that the call was confidential. Which seems strange if they were trying to scam me. If it is the real company though, why would they use such a deep menacing voice, and call me without knowing my name?
Even worse was day I picked up the phone and it seemed to have worked it out... It sent shivers down my spine.

I have no debt apart from my hex fee which I shouldn't have to pay until uni ends.

The legitimate company this "scam?" is based off seems to provide legal services based of debt. It also "buys" debt from others and holds it to generate interest...

What a bi*** of a company..

I kept receiving phone calls from this number and someone declared from baycorp.  First thing they asked me to confirm my date if birth!  I told them no way - why do I tell you my birthday when I don't know who you are and what ur call is about?  I asked them to tell me their record and I would confirm before I talk to them further.  They wouldn't do that and hung up.  Very dodgy!!

Getting annoying "urgent" calls from this number over past 12 months.  Letting the answering machine take them, ignoring them and then deleting.

Wrong name...don't owe anything...who's paying for these calls?

we have continually been recieving recorded messages from this number for a "Clorine Deritch" saying that they need to return the call it is a matter of urgency. We have been getting these calls for at least 3 months, surely if is urgent they would have done something before this

My partner has been getting two blocked-number calls every day this week! Sometimes his name, but usually not.  Today, we got two messages for Alison Hill & Charles Darney, each with individual reference numbers.  

I'm on hold with the number on their website: 1300 558 830. 8mins now, no answer.  About every 30 seconds, an automated voice offers for me to leave a message, or keep holding.

GRRRRRRRR!

I have a similar story to the ones listed. Recieved a phone call from the robit asking for me to confirm by pressing one. I hung up. I recieved  second phone call that went to message bank asking to call 1300130472 and quote a very long reference number 2000... I deleted the message. I thought is was a scan and this web page confirms it. I lodge a complaint with the scam watch web site. See if it goes anywhere.

I work for an organisation and got the same number 1300 130 472 with the same ridiculous Reference number. I googled the number and found this site

If in doubt you can report scams to the ACCC via the report a scam page on SCAMwatch or by calling 1300 795 995. - https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/694011.

Same as the others mentioned. I reported it to Telstra and played them  the answering machine message with the rediculous number reference - since deleted. Telstra  were very helpful and also suggested I Google the 1300 number given and I got this site.
Tesltra has also put a block on all international calls for the time being to counter  a series of  telemarketing calls I have been receiving of late.

I too got the message to ring that number, thought it was Bank Corp, but listening to it now, it could be Bay Corp, name unintelligable, to quote 200-08-64-002-0422. Didn't ring them, but considered trying to call them reverse chaarges, just in case it was a scam to get me to ring an overseas phone with very high fees. Decided to look the number up on the internet & found this site.

I get the same messages for a girl named sacha mitchell - same long reference number as everyone else has said - I called and it was Baycorp Collections - I asked them to take my number off which they happily did and all i needed to do was quote the long ref no.
Hope this helps!

Received an automated pre-recorded voice message on my answering machine a second time (first time back around 9 Sep 2009), telling me to call this number as a matter of great importance.  It got my name right on both occassions and said it in a computer generated voice.  I called them back to confirm it was "Baycorp" as per Rich's comment above.
If they are (money) collectors, then they should NOT have any business with me, as I don't have any loans or overdue bills.  But, about a year ago, I did get a letter from a council 800kms from mine saying I owed rates on a property that I do NOT own or rent....mistaken identity.  Soon afterwards, I wrote back to the authority saying it was mistaken identity.

I got a call too.... same number, saying it was urgent, but asking for the wrong name, and a stupidly long reference number. I called them back and asked who they were. They said they were Baycorp Collections and i told them to remove my number from their list.
