Commonwealth Bank Impersonation Reports for 02 8645 3371
Community reports for 02 8645 3371 (also written as 0286453371) reveal a mixed picture, with five scam reports and three suspicious reports indicating impersonation of Commonwealth Bank. Seven contributors specifically mention callers falsely claiming to represent CommBank, while two legitimate reports confirm the number has been used by the actual bank for genuine account matters.
The impersonation pattern on 0286453371 is particularly concerning because scammers are leveraging the number's association with Commonwealth Bank to build credibility. Multiple contributors report the caller had banking details and used an Australian accent, making the impersonation convincing enough to nearly bypass their defences.
What Callers from 02 8645 3371 Claim
Scammers using 02 8645 3371 employ several deceptive tactics. One contributor received a call from this number claiming they had missed a home loan repayment and requesting confirmation of personal details, despite the contributor's payments being on automatic. Another reported the caller simply said they urgently needed to speak with a random name but refused to identify themselves or the purpose, calling multiple times without leaving a message.
A caller from 0286453371 also mentioned they might be recording the call, suggesting potential man-in-the-middle interception during conversations. Contributors who verified calls directly with Commonwealth Bank confirmed the bank denied making outbound calls from 02 8645 3371 at the times in question, establishing clear intent to deceive.
How This Number Connects to Commonwealth Bank
The allocation data shows 02 8645 3371 is registered as a local service through Optus Networks in New South Wales. Two contributors received genuine Commonwealth Bank communications from this number, with one receiving notification that a debt was cancelled and another receiving service that resolved a banking issue with confirmation via the bank's app. This legitimate history appears to have been exploited by scammers who now spoof or hijack the number for impersonation attempts.

Report Patterns and Timing
The eleven community reports for 02 8645 3371 span from October 2025 through March 2026, with clustering in late 2025 and early 2026. All reports came from answered calls, meaning recipients engaged with the caller before recognising the deception. The pattern suggests scammers are cycling through impersonation attempts rather than a single sustained campaign. One contributor noted multiple calls in November alone, indicating persistence on the part of whoever is using this number.
Interestingly, the two legitimate reports (January and March 2026) are interspersed with scam reports, which creates ambiguity for recipients. The most recent legitimate report from 10 March 2026 confirmed debt cancellation, but earlier scam reports from February 2026 show scammers had already begun using 02 8645 3371 to target people with false claims about account issues.

Is 02 8645 3371 a real Commonwealth Bank number?
02 8645 3371 appears in allocation records as a local service through Optus Networks in NSW, and two contributors confirm receiving genuine Commonwealth Bank communications from this number. However, seven contributors report scammers impersonating CommBank using 0286453371, so the number's legitimacy is compromised.

What should I do if 0286453371 calls asking for personal details?
Do not provide any personal information, account numbers, or passwords to 0286453371 if they claim to be from Commonwealth Bank.

Hang up immediately and contact Commonwealth Bank directly using the official number on your card or statement to confirm whether they actually need to speak with you.
Can scammers record calls from 02 8645 3371?
One contributor reported the caller from 02 8645 3371 mentioned they might be recording the call, suggesting potential man-in-the-middle interception. This is a tactic used by scammers to threaten or intimidate, or to justify capturing your voice for later misuse. Never continue a call with 0286453371 if the caller mentions recording without your consent - hang up and report the incident to ACMA.
Why do scammers keep calling from 02 8645 3371 if it's linked to the bank?
Scammers exploit 02 8645 3371's legitimate history with Commonwealth Bank to build credibility with targets. The number has genuinely been used by CommBank for account matters, making the impersonation more convincing. Scammers may be spoofing the number (making it appear legitimate) or hijacking a compromised account. This is why you should never assume a number is safe just because it appears to be from your bank.
How can I tell if a call from 02 8645 3371 is actually from Commonwealth Bank?
Real Commonwealth Bank representatives will never ask you to confirm passwords, PINs, or full account details over the phone. If 0286453371 calls and makes urgent claims about missed payments, fraud alerts, or account issues, hang up and call CommBank directly on the number on your card. One contributor verified a call from 02 8645 3371 by contacting the bank separately and confirmed it was legitimate - but others who did the same verification found the calls were scams.
Should I block 02 8645 3371 after a suspicious call?
Yes, block 0286453371 if you receive a suspicious call claiming to be from Commonwealth Bank. Multiple contributors reported repeated calls from 02 8645 3371 using urgency and persistence. Blocking prevents further contact attempts. You can still verify genuine bank communications by calling CommBank directly on your card's official number, so blocking 02 8645 3371 will not prevent legitimate contact if the bank needs to reach you.
