NAB Impersonation Reports for 02 8599 4300

02 8599 4300 (also written as 0285994300) has attracted four community reports, with two explicitly flagged as scam attempts involving NAB impersonation. Contributors report receiving calls claiming to originate from NAB branches in Barangaroo and Randwick, Sydney, despite having no legitimate banking relationship with NAB.

The pattern of impersonation is notable: one contributor received separate voicemail and follow-up calls from 0285994300, each claiming to be from a different NAB location (Barangaroo in the first instance, Randwick in the second). This geographic variation across calls suggests a deliberate impersonation strategy rather than a genuine banking enquiry.

What Callers from 02 8599 4300 Claim

Contributors who answered calls from 02 8599 4300 report callers identifying themselves as "Sam" or simply stating they were "ringing from nab bank Randwick Sydney." The reported caller behaviour is inconsistent with legitimate NAB contact: one contributor described the initial call as asking if they were happy with their banking services, which triggered suspicion. When the contributor called back to verify, they heard a man's voice claiming to be from NAB, but the suspicious nature of the initial contact prompted them to hang up.

Another contributor received a voicemail claiming NAB was calling from Barangaroo, followed by a second call the next day claiming to be from NAB in Randwick. This contributor confirmed they had never dealt with NAB, yet the caller persisted with the banking verification angle. The impersonation tactic appears designed to establish false credibility by referencing specific NAB office locations rather than presenting as a generic customer service line.

Report Patterns and Timing

The four reports span from March 2024 to March 2026, indicating sustained activity from 02 8599 4300 over an extended period. Calls have come through both voicemail and direct answering, suggesting the callers are making multiple attempts to reach targets. One contributor noted calling back 0285994300 after a missed call to verify legitimacy, only to hear an NAB Randwick greeting, highlighting the deliberate spoofing of NAB contact details.

Timing data shows calls occurring across different days and times, with at least one voicemail received in the evening (22:14 UTC). The fact that one contributor received two calls from 02 8599 4300 on consecutive days (voicemail yesterday, live call today) suggests targeted persistence rather than random dialling.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 02 8599 4300

If 02 8599 4300 calls you claiming to represent NAB or any other bank:

• Do not: Confirm your identity, share account details, provide personal information, or return the call to the number displayed
• Do: Hang up immediately, then contact NAB directly using the official number on your bank statement or the NAB website to verify whether they initiated the call
• Do: Block 02 8599 4300 on your phone to prevent further contact
• Do: Be alert to the geographic reference tactic - legitimate banks do not typically identify themselves by office suburb in unsolicited calls
