Is this comment serious? ANYONE who calls you and asks for your details are doing it wrong and should be told this at the time. These bad practices by reputable companies are encouraging vishing attacks and they need to be told. You need to verify the caller, not the other way round, because they called you! Even if you recognise the number it can still be spoofed. This site has just been shut down for doing exactly this - http://ispoof.net. If you ever receive a call asking for your details, first of all tell them they shouldn't be asking these questions. Then get them to proove to you THEIR identity. Ask them for your name, address, policy number, amount in bank account, last 3 transactions etc, or call them back on a number which you find online if they really need to talk to you. Until reputable businesses stop encouraging practices which scammers use, this will continue.

It's still AAMI but now they're better at handling proving who they are first.

Sent me an email that contained a letter they had written me previously and was verified by Gmail has havng being sent by AAMI. We then had a normal covnersation about the matter at hand. I still wouldn't be handing over really sensitive information on a phone call but they didn't ask for anything like that. And I do want them to ensure they are talking to me not someone else.

Caller: AAMI

Legitimate call regarding recent MVA claim I lodged. I believed it’s a multi used assessment organization used by many different insurance companies. But legit call and not a sales rep.

Caller: Sally

Called Sunday Morning. Left a message to call AAMI back about my claim and left a reference number. I called AAMI and they had no record of a need to call me and the reference number had no relevance. How do these ratbags know I have a claim?

Caller: APIA

probably about an insurance claim - no message left but sent me an email.

Lots of complains through this number. I have to be careful not sure if this is legit hence I did not answer.

Caller: (07) 3732 2200

Legitimate call from Shannons Insurance (part of AAMI) after a conversation with one of their reps at a car show re insuring a vehicle, and was promised a follow up call. Call from the local Shannons rep on Central Coast NSW came thru on this number.

Caller: Unkown

Please call Amy Insurance on 1300 0416 9185 ... Def a scam with that spelling!

Caller: AAMI

Legitimate call from our AAMI claims manager regarding a claim that is in progress.

Caller: Shannons

Legitimate call from Shannons about my insurance account from the person I had just spoken to on a previous call

Caller: insurance company by the looks of it...

This number has called me numerous times over the last week. Some of the calls have literally been seconds apart but not one call has rung long enough to be answered- it really is very annoying and quite rude for a business to do this if they are actually an insurance company.

Caller: SHANNONS

this was a legitimate call regarding a claim i had made.

Caller: Vero - a Suncorp company

Definitely legit - however, as all suncorp companies seem to use the same dial out number, it is easy to phreak and scam.

Caller: GIO

Call ID was Suncorp but actually GIO relating to a claim in progress. Received an email as followup. Legit

Caller: Maybe Suncorp

My insurance claim was over 6 weeks ago. I THINK it’s them but why ring when the claim isn’t pending

Caller: AAMI

Legit call regarding insurance claim

Called me three times, I don’t have insurance and as such they would have no reason to contact me. I promptly blocked the number after the third call and looking the number up on reverse Australia.

They said they were from Aami - similar to everyone else here, wanted my personal info, which seemed odd as they had rung me. I think the number must be spoofed - it seems it is the actual insurance company number, but it wasn't them ringing me.

Caller was from GIO for a legitimate claim I have. He did not leave a message. He sent me an email requesting that I return his call to discuss my recovery progress, when I have time.

Caller: AAMI

Legit number. Not a scam.
