02 8093 1109 (0280931109): Contributors report calls impersonating St George and NAB banks, using personal names and threatening payment action. Multiple confirmations from actual banks that calls are not legitimate.
Bank Impersonation Reports for 02 8093 1109
Twelve contributors have flagged calls from 02 8093 1109 (also written as 0280931109) impersonating major Australian banks. The dominant pattern involves callers claiming to represent St George Bank and NAB, using recipients' full names to appear credible, and pressuring action on alleged overdue payments.
Five of the twelve reports confirm verification with actual banks - St George and NAB both confirmed to contributors that 0280931109 is not their legitimate contact number and they do not conduct outbound robocalls from this line. One contributor received a call while physically at a St George branch and the bank immediately confirmed the call was fraudulent despite the caller knowing their name.
What Callers from 02 8093 1109 Claim
Callers impersonating St George using 02 8093 1109 employ specific pressure tactics. Multiple reports describe automated messages or live callers claiming account payment arrears, demanding action within five days, and using personal information like full names to establish false credibility. One contributor noted the caller already knew their full name and suburb before they even answered.
The impersonation tactics vary slightly. Some calls from 0280931109 use automated voice systems asking recipients to press 1 to confirm identity - a classic callback scam setup. Other calls claim to be from St George or NAB and immediately reference payment delinquency without waiting for confirmation the person has an account with that bank. One contributor received six separate calls in a single day from 02 8093 1109, all claiming to be St George.
A contributor who called back 0280931109 was immediately disconnected, a common behaviour pattern with fraudulent operations. Another report mentions the number is potentially associated with FICO, cited as an outsourced partner of Westpac, though this connection is unconfirmed by multiple contributors.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 02 8093 1109 really St George Bank calling about my payment?
No. Multiple contributors have independently verified with St George Bank that 02 8093 1109 is not their number and they do not make outbound robocalls. One contributor even confirmed this while at a St George branch - the bank stated the call was fraudulent despite the caller knowing their name. If you're concerned about an actual payment issue, hang up and call St George directly using the number on your official statement.
Why does the caller from 0280931109 know my full name?
Several contributors reported that callers from 02 8093 1109 used their full names, making the call appear legitimate. This information is commonly obtained from data breaches, social media, or public records. Scammers use personal information specifically to increase credibility and make you more likely to engage. The fact that a caller knows your name does NOT mean they are legitimate - always verify through official channels.
What happens if I press 1 when the automated call from 02 8093 1109 asks me to?
Do not press 1. Multiple reports show that 0280931109 uses automated systems asking recipients to press 1 to confirm identity. This is a callback scam technique - pressing 1 confirms your number is active and monitored, and can trigger further scam attempts or connect you to a fraudster. Even if it claims to be St George, hang up and verify through official channels.
I received a call from 02 8093 1109 claiming NAB needs payment action - is this legitimate?
No. One contributor reported receiving a call from 0280931109 impersonating both St George and NAB, claiming payment action was required. That same contributor verified with both banks and confirmed neither legitimately called from this number. If you have an actual account issue with NAB, the bank will contact you through verified channels. Call NAB directly on the number on your card to verify any payment concerns.
The caller from 02 8093 1109 said I have five days to catch up on payments - should I be worried?
This is a high-pressure tactic used by the scammer operating 0280931109. While one contributor confirmed they actually were behind on a legitimate mortgage payment and received a genuine follow-up call, most reports from 02 8093 1109 are confirmed scams. Never act on urgent payment claims from unknown callers. Hang up and contact your actual bank using the official number on your statement - they can confirm whether there is a genuine payment issue.
I blocked 02 8093 1109 but keep getting calls - what should I do?
Contributors report that blocking 0280931109 has not always stopped calls, suggesting the scammer either uses multiple related numbers or continues attempting contact. Report the number to ACMA at acma.gov.au and Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au with details of the repeated contact. Also report the specific bank name being impersonated to that bank's fraud team. Consider registering at donotcall.gov.au to lodge a formal complaint about repeated unwanted calls.
