Not a scam. They are a genuine company. I called my bank to tell them I had a call from them in regards to some fraudulent transactions on my card. They assured me they were 100% safe and directly transferred me back to the call centre.
They had found 3 attempted transactions made in USA and they stopped them from going through for me.
They cancelled my card and are issuing me a new one but were polite enough to ask if I would like to withdraw money before they cancelled it. Good chaps!
TRUSTWORTHY COMPANY AND NUMBER! - AnonymousSeptember 14, 2018UnknownAustralia
I got a message on my phone from this number saying there was a fraud alert on my debit card. I was worried about it being a scam number so I didn't call it but went into my bank to check, and sure enough there was a fraudulent transaction on my card. The information at least was accurate. I can't say anything about the phone number because I spoke to people through the actual branch. - RyanMarch 20, 2018ServiceAustralia
This is NOT a scam if you were called by a private number asking to ring back on 1300 705 750.
This number is posted as the fraud detection service for multiple reputable banks, so it's a bit far-fetched that a scam would have convinced multiple legitimate businesses to list its number as the one to call for fraud.
I can confirm personally that Credit Union Australia also uses this company for fraud detection services. They were able to identify me and my credit cards based purely on my membership number (NOT account number) so they had little to gain.
I will come delete this comment if the card cancellation process does not go smoothly or as expected. - MichelleJanuary 20, 2016UnknownAustralia
This is not scam, Should call your bank straight away. - AnonymousMay 17, 2019UnknownAustralia
Caller: seriously
Anyone who says this is a scam number is an idiot, plain and simple. One of those peope who calls the number (even though they dont believe it is anything to do with their bank) to tell someone in the office 'i dont believe you are my bank, im gonna report this' and hangs up, goes straight here, vents. then goes into a branch, to find out it was legit all along - simple advise - CALL YOUR BANK! - LaylaJanuary 17, 2017UnknownAustralia

Caller: Bank Australia Fraud detection - 1300 705 750
They are for real. They called at 10pm last night, quoted the last 4 digits of my card number but I had to give them my member number (not account number) to verify. They also said they were from my bank and it's a smaller bank so it wasn't just a phishing exercise. Read an article this morning which made me wonder if I had been scammed but I'm confident it is all above board. They are cancelling my card and sending me a new one but they had to verify other purchases I had made so they obviously had access to my history of other charges. - LucyJuly 22, 2022UnknownAustralia
Caller: Fraud Dept
Is a valid number.
I had a missed call from (02) 8299 9534 then got message to call Fraud Dept on 1300 705 750. I called Bank Australia as wasn't sure if spam. Couldn't remember my security password so had to reset it and called them back.
Transferred me to Fraud Dept which was the correct number above, they said someone in Japan had tried to transact on my card so they had put a block on my card and contacted me. They are now issuing me with a new card. - AnonymousJuly 12, 2022UnknownAustralia
Caller:
Received a text message 'Please contact Peoples Choice Fraud Department on 1300 705 750 and press option 3, to confirm card transactions. Do not reply.' I checked my bank's website to find the number there so I (stupidly) called back and handed my details over. Then in a horrifying moment of realisation that I could've been scammed, I called my bank to check if it was legit. They confirmed it was the legitimate fraudulent services they use and not to be worried about it. But don't do what I do, and just call your bank first to be safe! - AnonymousMarch 27, 2022UnknownAustralia

Caller: 1300 705 750
Aust fraud services. They only stop legitimate charges like my annual nursing registration and overseas purchases... never had fraud on cards. So every time they call its a major inconvenience. But they are legitimate. - AnonymousJuly 29, 2021UnknownAustralia
Caller: Apparently from my state bank
Received voicemail apparently from my state bank. Said they are concerned about a transaction on an account number that I DO not have.
This is a fraudulent number.
I called my bank back directly. They said no notes are on my account and that the voicemail is fraudulent. No movement in my account. - TheresaJuly 24, 2021Call centreAustralia
