Sample complaints we have found for (02) 8005 0862

Hi All,

My mum called me concerned about a caller who claimed to be from a company called Reclaim Export.   The caller told her that she had over $3,000 owing to her due to underpaid bank interest and that if she attended the Post Office, she could claim all of that money.

The caller knew her full name, date of birth, address and the bank that she dealt with, so he sounded convincing.

She didn't trust what he said and he told he would give her his managers details and she could call him to verify things.   The manager was Jim Walker from Reclaim Export located at level 2 26 Lee Street, Sydney 2000.   His phone number was (02) 8005 0862.

She didn't call him and a couple of days later the caller rang back asking how she was going and when she was going to claim her funds.

At this time Mum called me and I found a quick Google Search revealed that it was all a SCAM.   Check out http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/08000664721/2 which is a similar thread.

THE WARNING SIGNS:

-   Caller calls you about money that is owed to you or you are entitled to that you didn't know about.

-   Caller is from a company you've never dealt with such as "Reclaim Export".   The company is not listed in the White or Yellow Pages and if it is, there is a different contact number.

-   Caller has your name, date of birth, address, bank that you deal with and then asks you to verify more detailed information such as bank account number or credit card details.   They may already have your credit card number and expiry date.   (It's easy to get .. all they need to do is have someone working at a retail store who can give them the credit card details and numbers of people that have shopped there)

-   They want you to send a "administrative fee" or a "release" of a small amount ($200 or so)  via Western Union Transfer so that you can get "your money".

-   They want you to send any sort of payment so that they can 'release' your money.


These shi%head$ are SCAMMERS who make a living stealing money from people.


NEVER give them any information that they don't already have and don't verify any information that they may give you.

ASK for any offer to be sent to you in WRITING, not via an email.

Check everything with the ACCC SCAM Watch or do Google Searches to verify information.

Don't handover any money.   If it's a genuine claim, they should be able to give you all of the information you ask for without you having to supply them any information at all or any money at all.
