Keeps calling even though I've blocked it
So-called Telstra bloke asking about network issues but I don't even have them as my provider, he lost it when I told him off
Called Saturday morning at 8:27am, left robotic voicemail with American accent claiming Commonwealth Bank, never had account with them
They just called me at 9:09. I did not pick it up as I know too many scam calls are coming this days. I waited for them to leave avoice mail first which read: Your Commonwealth Bank credit card had been declined for a $120.40 transaction and the card has been blocked. It then tells you to call a 1300 number (1300 480 873) to discuss. I can't do that.
Had a call this morning at 7:30 am from this number. It was an automated voice message left saying that my Commonwealth Bank credit card had been declined for a $120.40 transaction and the card has been blocked. I am not with Commonwealth Bank nor have I ever been so this is 100% a scam. It then tells you to call a 1300 number (1300 480 873) to discuss. DON'T get sucked in by this!! Be careful if you are with CBA - it is fake!
