"Scam alert - Cold Call scam
CMS Insurance Services is aware of a number of telephone scams targeting people across Australia asking them for their insurance, personal and credit card details.
Fraudsters claiming to be from ‘CMS Insurance’ are contacting people by phone, saying they can offer them a better deal on their insurance. They then request details about the person and what they are currently paying for insurance. They then guarantee to beat that price – subject to immediate payment by credit card.
CMS Insurance advise that we do NOT Cold Call or Telemarket under any circumstances and that any one purporting to represent us is fraudulent.
Should you be contacted by these people please hung up and do not give them any personal or credit card information.
CMS Insurance Services advise that the issue has been reported to the Australian Federal Police and to the ACCC’s scamwatch.
If you have received a telephone call of this type and have given out your personal details, please contact your local bank and police immediately.
CMS Insurance Services are distressed by this situation and empathise with anyone inconvenienced."

If you have an iphone just go into the number's info in your call list, scroll to the bottom and click "Block caller" I'm sure other phones would have this feature in the settings somewhere also
