Caller: Scammer

Wanted to discuss a transaction with commonwealth bank. Not a customer of this bank so knew it wasn’t legit. Delay before answering. Overseas call centre ported through Queensland number.

Which AUSTRALIAN telco is flogging these bastards numbers to allow them to attempt these scams? Why are we letting them to go unpunished?. Or are the making too much money scammer phone calls?

Went to voicemail but glad I checked this thread

Caller: Called herself Mary

Scammer: Claimed to be from Visa card security

Hung up the moment I answered. I suspect I’ll be getting follow up scam calls now.

Caller: Amazon

Said someone had put a purchase through on my Amazon account and sent me a OTP code that they wanted me to read them - I wouldn’t and said I would ring Amazon directly - they then became agitated and gave me their employee name, number and told me a false ip address and when I wouldn’t give the OTP code became abusive, so hung up

Caller: Scam

Called saying they were telstra and I was eligible for 50% off for the next 6 months cause my bills have always been paid on time.. new that was a lie straight away

Said they were from NBN and calling because my internet is slow. Loud call center in the background. Had my name so obviously bought my data off somone

Caller: Olivia (recorded voice)

Says from CBA regarding a debit card transaction that I could accept or dispute. 100% a scam

Unanswered, no msg left

Caller: (07) 3521 3041

Recorded message re a suspicious transaction on Via. If you press 1 to say the transaction is not authorised it goes through to a male with Indian accent. He claims to be from Via Fraud Squad and claims to have identified a fraudulent transaction of $1200 for Bitcoin. Sounds legit to begin with but when asked more questions to verify identity etc he became evasive and eventually hung up.

If they won't leave a message, they are 100% scammers. I do not answer ANY calls I cannot identify. So blocking this pest

Still scamming - nothing important comes through unknown numbers.

Got a call from (07) 3521 6741, did not answer but I assume this number is also a scam/spam call as the first 6 digits match.

Caller: Get a Life!

I agree telco co. need to be responsible.

I had a missed call as my phone security Blocks potentially fraud. I always come on here first and check the number then I block them, I have been getting a few lately.

Caller: (07) 3521 3041

Just hear to add also a missed call

Hung up on them as soon as I answered, I dont have subscriptions to anything

Caller: Supposedly Amazon Prime

Said I had subscribed to the Amazon Prime service did I want to unsubscribe. Told them had not authorised a subscribed account, she insisted that to cancel she would have to complete a form for me and needed my details. I hung up.

Caller: Marketer for Amazon Prime

Said I had subscribed to the Amazon Prime service did I want to unsubscribe. Told them had not authorised a subscribed account, she hung up. Will lodge formal complaint.
