      Not gonna lie google has done a solid job on this, they show up a lot of company numbers, and help avoid people calling scammers

    Live chat, if this is not available then I give up trying to contact them.

    The tricky part is trying to find the help/ tech support number. I've resorted to calling the sales enquiry line and asking to be transferred

    • USER DC on 20/03/2023 - 15:04

      Also finding their direct number is hard too.

      the main number (that google shows) is one that normally is always gonna be the bot number (where you are stuck selecting an option for your correct department), or like some other verfication etc. which takes too long too.

      • TimmyTims on 20/03/2023 - 16:29

        True. When I get that sort of number, I still go through to sales as it's often the least number of prompts

    Google or Who Called AU which is slowly building.

    I look up the acn, then file a request for company director records with asic, then call 'em up.

  • Godric on 20/03/2023 - 13:38

    Bing It

    • TimmyTims on 20/03/2023 - 16:30

      Then while you are on hold, ask the new Bing chat if it can solve your problem

    1. DuckDuckGo
      1a) Search company name, call phone number in search results
      1b) Search company name, review website from search results, call resulting phone number
    2. Google - as above
    3. Smoke signals
    4. Profit

    We got a copy of Yellow pages delivered in the mail the other week…. I guess older folks still like to use physical copies.

    But ye… just Google.
