Caller: St George Amazingly, this number is genuine. Like others on here, I was getting calls from a No Caller ID, which had all the hallmarks of a scam, i.e. a slight delay before the heavily accented caller starts to speak, immediately launching into a series of questions about my identity, my bank details, DOB. After the umpteenth call I asked for a number to call back on and was given 1300 303 110. I then called St George's standard contact number 13 33 30, and they confirmed that this is the number of their credit card collections.
In my view it shows shockingly poor judgement on the part of St George to employ a service like this, with cold calls coming from India or the Phillippines from an unlisted number, especially given the climate of scam calls, texts, emails etc. Additionally not once did the caller leave a voicemail, which only added to the dubious feel to it all.
Big thumbs down to St George on this one.

Caller: St George Collections Legitimate number, but it's a third party collection centre who are destroying St George's reputation. 3 to 7 calls per day – "Kay" was reluctant to tell me her name, then when I refused to give personal details to an unsolicited caller with a private number she told me to call them. She then refused to give out a phone number and hung up. Been on the phone to General Enquiries twice now, and on hold to Collections for 1.5 hours...

I've got females called me several time on my mobile, and knowing my name, claimed from St George Bank. I asked one of female's detail, she (Indian voice) said Gayatri, Employee ID: C34492, called from 1300 303 110... Tell the Police for tracking the call if you can, this would protect you as well as protect next people they call!

I had a call from this 1300 number to day - strangely a few hours after I had cancelled my credit card.. Thought it was very sus and I called St George to ask if there was anting on file as to why they would call me again. St George advised that there was no reason and no notes on file - they said it probably was a scam! So I dont know

Caller: Bank of Melbourne Private number called saying in relation to "Bank of Melbourne private banking matter". When I wouldn't give ID details, they told me to call this number 1300 303 110). I called Bank of Melb on normal number (13 22 66) - on hold for more than 10mins, then transferred to the Collections area (after ID check). Then another few minutes of voice messages before having to give an even ,more thorough ID check to the next person! Then after being on hold again, confirmed that they couldn't find any reason for them to call (no debt collections issues identified). Terrible process on Bank of Melbourne's behalf and 20 minutes wasted for nothing!

Caller: woman named LJ apparently SCAM! just called straight from a private number and went straight to asking for my personal details claiming they were a private branch. Every time I asked for her name, I was ignored. 3 days later I ignored the calls and the called my work up asking for me! Like wth. Called me early the next day and gave me this number after asking numerous amount of times.

I had the same call, then was given the 1300 303 110 number to call. I rang ST George direct and they verified the number. It is actually legit.

It's definitely legit, from St George collections debt (which is outsourced apparently). They knew balances etc of my account without me telling them and as someone else said were able to 'fill in the blanks'.

This is a legit Inbound Line for St George accounts that are slightly overdrawn or payment has been missed. I recd a call from a Manila contact centre advising that a Direct Debit I had forgot to cancel had drawn on an Credit Card I had paid in full but was no longer using. They ID me by my full name and DOB, were really friendly and helpful.

St G tell you they will not ask for this personal info unless you contact them, in fact THEY say to never give it out. Very dodgy way to operate. I have a mailbox. I have an email address. Why is someone from overseas being paid to contact me when a 50c stamp would get a cooperative response. No wonder bank fees are going through the roof.

I believe it is legit. Calls from this number could be on behalf of St George or BankSA (owned by St G). The nice Indian person you talk to has only been given limited information about your ID. Enough to confirm they're talking to the right person, but not enough to compromise you. When they called me, they knew exact balance of a slightly overdrawn account, as of this morning. So I believe it's legit.
