Suspicious ANZ Impersonation Report for 02 6714 9689
A contributor has flagged a call from 02 6714 9689 (also written as 0267149689) impersonating ANZ Bank. The caller claimed to be investigating strange activity on the recipient's account, a common social engineering tactic used to extract personal information or banking credentials. The contributor noted the call felt sketchy, indicating the caller's approach triggered suspicion even during the conversation.
This NSW-based number, allocated to Primus Telecommunications Pty Limited, was used in an attempt to create urgency around account security. Bank impersonation calls often rely on manufactured concern about unauthorised transactions to pressure victims into confirming account details, passwords, or one-time verification codes.
What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 6714 9689
If 02 6714 9689 or any unknown number claims to be your bank:
- Do not: Confirm account numbers, card details, passwords, or one-time codes to the caller
- Do not: Accept the caller's account of suspicious activity at face value
- Do: Hang up immediately without further conversation
- Do: Contact ANZ directly using the phone number on your bank card or official statement
- Do: Ask ANZ if they initiated contact about your account
- Do: Block the number 0267149689 if the call repeats
Legitimate banks never cold-call asking for passwords, PINs, or security codes. If ANZ needs to contact you about account activity, they will use verified channels you already have on file.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why would someone impersonate ANZ and call 02 6714 9689?
The contributor who reported 02 6714 9689 (0267149689) noted the caller claimed account compromise to create urgency. This tactic is designed to bypass normal caution - victims may confirm details they wouldn't normally share because they believe their account is already at risk. Once the scammer has account information or banking credentials, they can attempt to access funds or commit fraud.
What should I do if ANZ actually needs to contact me about my account?
Legitimate ANZ contact will come through verified channels. If you're unsure whether a call from 02 6714 9689 was genuine, hang up and call ANZ back using the number on your card or statement. Never use a callback number provided by the suspicious caller. ANZ will have your account details on file and can confirm whether they initiated contact.
Is 0267149689 definitely a scam if it called me?
One contributor reported 02 6714 9689 as suspicious when it claimed to be ANZ. However, a single report means this specific number may have other uses. The key is the behaviour: if any caller claims to be your bank and asks for passwords, PINs, or one-time codes, that is always a scam, regardless of the number. Hang up and verify independently.
Can I block 02 6714 9689 on my phone?
Yes. Most Australian phones allow you to block numbers in settings or through your provider. If 0267149689 calls repeatedly after you've declined to engage, blocking is a practical step. However, blocking alone won't prevent other scammers from calling - the best defence is never confirming account details to unsolicited callers claiming to be your bank.
Should I report this to my bank or to government agencies?
Report to both. Tell ANZ immediately so they can flag the impersonation attempt on your account and check for unauthorised access. Then report 02 6714 9689 to Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au) and ACMA (acma.gov.au). Government agencies use reports to track scam patterns and help protect other Australians. Reverseau also welcomes your report to strengthen community intelligence.
How do I know if a call really is from ANZ?
Genuine ANZ calls will never ask you to confirm sensitive information like passwords or card security codes. If 02 6714 9689 or any number asks for these details, it is not ANZ. Real banks use separate secure channels (SMS, email, in-app notifications) for sensitive verification. When in doubt, hang up and contact ANZ directly using the number on your card - that's the only safe way to verify.
