(03) 7050 4100 - 0370504100: Scam Alert - Likely Fraudulent Calls Purporting to be from Banks

She asked me to confirm my name, when I ask who was calling she called me a stupid lady so I hung up.

Scam call.

Didn’t answer. They left voicemail message saying PayPal account will be debited. If not you, press 1 to talk to someone.

Haha… I don’t have PayPal.

The caller did not speak English at all, which raised my suspicions that this was likely a scam call.

I unequivocally believe this was a scam call as I was almost tricked into giving them information. The person spoke in Chinese, and when I mentioned that I would report their activities, they became very aggressive towards me.

The caller rang twice but didn’t leave a message. After quickly doing a reverse phone lookup, I found several reports about this number which helped me. I appreciate those who share their experiences here. I've since blocked and deleted this number. This occurred on 06/09/2024 at 2:30 PM AEST.

I looked up this caller after they tried to reach me and I'm thankful I missed the call. This number is definitely a scammer. I'm really impressed with the reverse lookup service for helping me identify this.

I received a call claiming to be from Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA). This definitely seems to be a scam.

I did not answer the call, and after checking online, it is confirmed that this number is definitely associated with scams.

Missed call 31/08/24, did not return call, BLOCKED AND DELETED.

The caller claimed to be from Amazon stating that there was a purchase that needed verification. Upon identifying her as a scammer, I confronted her, and she promptly hung up the phone.

I received a scam call that pretended to be from my bank. I was warned to not respond, as it seems to be from scammers of Indian origin.

Scam call.

I answered a call that turned out to be a recorded message claiming to be from immigration, stating that there is an issue with my visa. I found this concerning as I do not possess a visa, being an Australian citizen. It was clearly a scam message encouraging me to press a number for further information.

They called but hung up straight away.

Didn't recognise the number so didn't answer and checking online it's definitely a scammer.

I answered a call from someone claiming to be Olivia from The Commonwealth Bank, discussing a transaction amounting to $1,800. The conversation seemed off, so I chose to hang up.

I didn’t recognize the number, so I chose not to answer. After researching it online, I confirmed that it is likely a scammer.

After a brief delay in connecting, I heard a recorded message from a female voice stating that my Visa account had been compromised. It claimed there was a $300+ charge on eBay and a foreign transfer of over $1,000. Be cautious; this is likely a scam.

I’ve blocked this caller. I recommend avoiding calls that come with a distinct ringing pattern as it’s evident they are unwanted.

I answered a call from this number, but they hung up immediately without saying anything.

The caller claimed to be from Microsoft and used multiple associated numbers, including (03) 7050 4106 and (03) 7050 4102, which raises my suspicion of potential scam activity.

Scam caller. Posing as bank.

Automated recording, apparently from CBA claiming someone was charging $1800 on my bank card and I needed to press a number to approve or another one to reject.

The call started with an automated message claiming to be "Olivia from the CBA" addressing a fraudulent transaction. However, when a female representative came on the line and started asking questions, the entire interaction began to feel suspiciously like a scam.

A woman called claiming to be from the technical department of Telstra. She informed me that my internet connection and IP address were showing significant scam activity. However, I do not use Telstra for my internet service at all!

Scam I don't answer any calls beginning with a 03 because I don't know anyone from 03 area code. Very short ring tone. Dodgey message left.

My phone automatically blocked this call, assuming it is a scam. Less than an hour ago my phone blocked another phone number that was almost exactly the same as this one. One digit of the phone number is different. What a coincidence:-/

My phone blocked the call but still sent a voicemail. In the voicemail, I couldn't make out any clear speech, but the background noise made it sound like a call center. I suspect this is a scam.

A caller, a male with an Indian accent, claimed to be from CBA (Commonwealth Bank of Australia) notifying me of an alleged fraudulent transaction on my account. I hung up and contacted CBA, who confirmed there were no such transactions as described and that it was a scam call.

I received a call from an unknown number that did not leave a message. I have noticed several calls with the same prefix (03 7050...) and I appreciate that others are sharing their experiences with this potential scammer.

Funny call that isn’t in my friend’s list! I don’t know why I receive these annoying calls everyday!!!

To me I would all these callers be fined!

I received a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft who attempted to gain access to my computer using Anydesk. It was amusing to waste their time with my responses.

I confronted the caller about their scamming activities, and they hung up immediately afterward.

Scam. Phone call and automated voice message purporting to be from PayPal. Stated a request had been received for payment $299.99 and would automatically be paid unless I pressed 1 to cancel.

This call was definitely a scam. When I answered, it took a while to connect, and then a recording came on claiming to be from Commonwealth Bank. It stated that $1800 had been attempted to be charged to my card, and prompted me to press 1 to accept or 2 to reject the payment. Since I only have $7.40 in that account, I decided it was best to just hang up.

I received a call yesterday from someone identifying herself as “Brenda from ANZ" using the number (03) 9018 6409. I do not bank with ANZ, which raises my suspicions.

When I answered the call, it took a while to connect. Then, I heard a woman named "Brenda" claiming to be from ANZ bank, stating there was a transaction for $1200 on my account. She provided a long message asking me to take action if it wasn't me. It felt suspicious and forced.

I received a call from this number, with the caller claiming to be from Visa/Mastercard but did not provide any further details.

Rewritten report: "I received a call from this number, and they left a message entirely in Chinese. It sounded like it could have been a robotic message, which made it difficult to understand."

Fake call from CBA claiming someone was charging $1800 on my bank card. Definitely a scam.

SCAM CALL.

Recorded message. Purporting to be from the Commonwealth bank saying there is a charge of $1800.

Press 2 to cancel.

The number does not connect when you call back.

Scammers.

When I answered this call, the caller immediately hung up on me. I tried calling back, but the message stated, "your call couldn't be connected, please check the number and try again".
