A voice message saying that they were from Amazon Prime and my account was to be debited $99 this evening to continue with my service. If I wanted to cancel press 1. I do not have Amazon Prime.

Got a call today they said (very heavy hindi accents) they were from Amazon about my subscription. I didn't have one, then they proceed to abuse me and try to get me to fill out forms and then claimed I made an error and that $10.000 went into my account from them. For another hour they were trying to get details out of me and make me pay money back via Amazon Gift Cards. They threatened to have all my bank accounts closed and refer this issue to the Australian Taxation office for recovery. They kept talking over me and were so demeaning and agonistic. They didn't get a cent out of me but at least I wasted 2hrs of their time.

This number is a FAKE scam! When I answered, I heard an American-accented recording insisting that I had ordered an iPhone 11 and prompting me to press 1 to speak to someone. I found it completely ridiculous and have deleted and blocked this number (02) 4405 5966.

I did not answer the call because of the negative feedback I had read in previous reports about this phone number.

The caller claimed they were verifying information for Visa and MasterCard. When I told the caller I didn't own any credit cards, they abruptly hung up. This seems to be a spam call. I also received a similar call from a number in Queensland (07) 3521 3088 which was also related to verification for a card.

The caller claimed to be from Commonwealth Bank and stated that there was a transaction happening overseas that he wanted to stop. He asked me to connect my bank account to an IP server that he would provide, assuring me that he could halt the transaction.

Another call from the heavily Indian accented lady calling from boiler room to advise some issue with the efficiency of my TLS connection.
