CBA Impersonation and Robocall Reports for 02 8359 2784

Three contributors have reported suspicious activity from 02 8359 2784 (also written as 0283592784), a NSW-based local service number. The reports indicate a pattern of deceptive calls involving impersonation of Commonwealth Bank of Australia and automated robocall activity. One contributor flagged a caller claiming to represent CBA and requesting payment verification details, while another report describes the number as unregistered and connected to scam-related robocall activity.

The variety of tactics reported on 0283592784 suggests this number may be part of a broader scam operation cycling through different approaches. Contributors have noted the number does not appear in standard registries, which is a red flag for fraudulent use.

What Callers from 02 8359 2784 Say

One contributor who answered a call from 02 8359 2784 reported that the caller impersonated CBA staff and attempted to verify payment details. The caller did not identify themselves with a legitimate CBA employee number or callback number, which is a common impersonation tactic.

Another report describes receiving a call that hung up immediately after being answered, consistent with robocall testing behaviour where scammers verify active numbers before launching targeted attacks.

A third contributor reported the number as unregistered and associated with generic "Chinese scam scare spam," suggesting this number may be part of a mass robocall campaign.

Report Patterns and Timing

The three reports span different dates and channels, with one arriving on 2 February 2026 at 6:22 AM (the impersonation attempt), another on 2 February 2026 at 2:34 AM (the hang-up call), and a third from May 2025 (the robocall report). The clustering of two reports on the same date suggests possible renewed activity from this number.

All reports came through answered calls, indicating contributors picked up before recognising the suspicious behaviour. The pattern of immediate hang-ups mixed with targeted impersonation attempts is consistent with scammers testing number validity before executing full fraudulent calls.
