Caller said I qualified for discounted overseas holiday, just need to pay taxes and port charges, hung up when questioned
I had acal today form this number from a woman calling herself Junnifer Joseph FIPH001 from Mastercard saying that two attempts had been made early this morning (Amazon $300 and eBay $264). She said she would connect me to Commbank where I spoke to Peter Williamson from their Security Dept. It didn't ring true, but was very slick. I said that I would call Commbank through their switchboard, when he started threatening that if my account was debited it would be my fault - very thinly disguised threats. I reported this to Cammbank Fraud service.
Hang up no talking or background noise. I’m thinking the number is potentially spoofed by scammers.
I have never given out my landline number because I don't even know what it is without calling say, my mobile to make it show up, and my answering machine message is a Fax Tone to deter future calls, so whoever owns this number has obviously called it via a random dialer, so feel safe in not answering it.
Scammer asking if I remembered filling out coupons for travel company. When I said no they tried justifying saying long time ago. Call at 8:25 PM Queensland time, told him I wouldn't be tricked and hung up
Woman with possibly Philippine accent asked about discount vouchers I supposedly filled out, never did any of that, dubious
Delayed connection, claimed to be Giotravel saying I won discounted travel package for Europe, hung up when asked to remove number
8 calls in 30 minutes from people with Indian accents, said I'd won a week resort stay but needed to pay $340, blew whistle at them, got 3 more calls that evening and 2 more next day
Normal nonsense - scam call who advised I was the luckiest guy and the only one selected for incredible savings on travel and accommodation. Claimed he was from some BS company called TL Travel based in Lavington NSW - just another pathetic low life scum bag looking to prey and extort money from innocent hard working Aussies - would love to see these parasites contract every incurable disease known to mankind - rant over.... In short just hang up on these drop kicks.
