Hey guys,
I registered for this Freedom Furniture family and friends deal a few weeks ago: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/554892
And since then (the day after) I've noticed an increased number of spam calls to my mobile. I probably should have entered a fake number facepalm.
Not sure how to go about confirming/denying causality, but has anyone else experienced similar on this particular deal?
