Caller: 70761216

Just called by these scammers. Advised me that my Visa card has been used to buy a car in Thailand. I said “yeah, so.. am I not allowed to buy a car?” They hung up.. they were obviously in a non playful mood!

Caller: Someone saying they're from Amazon

Me: Yes? How can I help.
Some delay in replying. Sound of multiple callers in the background. International call centre routed through this number?
Scammer: This is Amazon calling. We have a suspicious purchase order and want to check it with you?
Me: Okay (Already suspicious that he didn't use my name)
Scammer: Are you buying an iphone?
Me: No (Oh, one of these. Haha)
Scammer: Are any of your relatives using your account to buy an iphone?
Me: No (Playing dumb)
Scammer: Do you have any friends or relatives overseas that have access to your Amazon account and are buying an iphone?
Me: No
Scammer: Well, it looks like someone in another country is trying to buy an iphone using your account. We need to block this purchase.
Me: Okay
Scammer: So, I'm going to send you a code to block this purchase. You'll see it comes from Amazon.
Me: Okay
Scammer: Did you get it?
Me: Yes
Scammer: So, tell me the number so that I can cancel this purchase. It's from Amazon so you know it's real.
Me: It says I can't give the OTP out to anyone.
Scammer: Yes, but this is Amazon calling and I generated that OTP to cancel this purchase. Let's finalise this. Read it out to me.
Me: I'm in my account now and there's no evidence of an order being made.
Scammer: It's an overseas order. (What? Like all Amazon accounts are not linked? Haha)
Me: Hmm. I think I'll look into this further and call Amazon back. Thank you for your call.
Scammer: No, this is Amazon!
Me: <click>

Scammers saying phone number has been used for purchases on Amazon. Trying to get you to login to something on your phone. Dodgy.

Caller: Random woman (Indian accent)

This woman pretended to be from Telstra and advised me that my IP had changed. From my response I figure they knew that I was suspect of them and they ended the call.

Pretended to be from paypal security

Caller: Scammer

Called saying that they are Commonwealth bank and that I had a bank transaction taken out for $4000. I let them know that I do not have an account with commonwealth and they hung up immediately

Caller: Unknown

I answered and didn’t speak, they hung up

Probably the same crowd who called from (03) 7076 1312

Caller: Saying Amazon

Scammers. Vulgar language when challenged

Called and didn’t leave a message when I didn’t pick up

Caller: jennifer

Called saying that they were from the australian cyber security council. The scammer tried to tell me that my number and email were used for money laundering and that they wanted to help me. The scam is they try and make you log into a site so that they can commence their attack. She hung up when she knew I was on to her.

Claimed to be calling from Vodafone offering exclusive deals

Don't know the number. Didn't answer it. Blocked it.

Probably the same crowd who call from (03) 7076 1216.
