Scam

Scam caller with Indian accent, appears to be calling from Wagga Wagga, purporting to be from Commonwealth Bank. I don't have an account with Comm Bank, and even if I did, why would they call from Wagga Wagga of all places? Definitely a number to block.

Scam

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.
