WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 02 8503 4690 a legitimate NAB number?
No. While some reports confirm legitimate NAB communications, multiple contributors report 0285034690 being used for impersonation scams where callers falsely claim to represent NAB. NAB would contact you from a number listed on your bank statement or card. If you receive a call from 02 8503 4690 claiming to be NAB, hang up and call NAB directly using the number on your card to verify.
Why is 0285034690 calling me if I'm not a NAB customer?
Several contributors who do not bank with NAB received calls from 02 8503 4690 claiming account issues. This is a common scam tactic - callers assume you may have an account or try to manipulate you into providing information. Legitimate banks do not contact non-customers about accounts. If you receive a call from 0285034690 claiming NAB business but you have no NAB account, it is almost certainly a scam attempt.
What should I do if 02 8503 4690 asks for my address or personal details?
Do not provide any information. One contributor reported a caller from 02 8503 4690 asking for their address, and another received a recorded message requesting sensitive information. Legitimate banks never ask for passwords, full account details, or address via unsolicited calls. Hang up immediately and report the call to ACMA at acma.gov.au if the caller from 0285034690 requests personal information.
Can I stop calls from 02 8503 4690 by blocking the number?
One contributor reported that blocking 0285034690 did not fully prevent calls - the number continued calling even after being blocked. However, you should still block it in your phone settings. If calls persist from 02 8503 4690 or similar numbers, report the pattern to ACMA at acma.gov.au. You can also register with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au, though scam calls may not respect this.
Is the recorded message from 02 8503 4690 mentioning my name legitimate?
No. One contributor received an automated message from 0285034690 that included their full name, describing it as "pretty convincing but definitely a scam." Scammers obtain personal details from data breaches or other sources and use this information to appear legitimate. The use of your name does not confirm a call from 02 8503 4690 is genuine. Always verify by calling the official number on your bank card.
What should I do if I already gave information to a caller from 02 8503 4690?
If you provided sensitive information (account numbers, passwords, address, or card details) to a caller from 0285034690, contact your bank immediately. Report the incident to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au and ACMA at acma.gov.au. If financial information was compromised, consider reporting to ReportCyber at cyber.gov.au.
