Commonwealth Bank Impersonation Reports for 03 8595 5229

Fifteen contributors have flagged calls from 03 8595 5229 (also written as 0385955229) for persistent Commonwealth Bank impersonation scams. Nine of these reports describe scam activity, with nine contributors noting impersonation tactics and five specifically reporting robocalls. The pattern is consistent: callers claim affiliation with Commonwealth Bank, request personal identification details, and create pressure through urgent language about account issues or overdue payments.

One contributor noted that scam calls from 0385955229 have occurred over an extended period, with callers "changing last four digits and calling multiple times a day" despite the contributor never having dealt with Commonwealth Bank. This suggests an automated campaign targeting multiple recipients with similar scripts.

What Callers from 03 8595 5229 Claim

Contributors report two distinct caller patterns from 03 8595 5229. Automated systems play recorded messages claiming to be from Commonwealth Bank, with one contributor describing "a recorded female voice saying it's from Commonwealth Bank about avoiding automated calls." These robocall messages often include the recipient's full name to appear legitimate, then ask for sensitive details like date of birth or account verification digits.

Live callers impersonating Commonwealth Bank staff also contact recipients, though contributors report these calls lack professionalism. One contributor noted the caller "sounded unprofessional" and "didn't know what department he was from," while another described a caller using the contributor's name but unable to provide clear reasons for the call. Multiple reports mention callers requesting the last four digits of bank accounts or full date of birth information.

Pressure tactics accompany these calls. One report mentions urgency phrasing about "avoiding automated calls," while another describes calls about "late credit card payment" with an urgent tone. The frequency also creates pressure: one contributor experienced calls "twice a day for a month, consistently on weekdays and weekends."

Call Patterns and Timing

Contributors report 03 8595 5229 calling repeatedly over extended periods. One contributor tracked calls from 0385955229 occurring "for over a year," with "multiple times a day" contact attempts. Another report describes receiving calls "twice a day for a month" across both weekdays and weekends, indicating no pattern discrimination by caller.

The pattern involves multiple calls in short timeframes. A contributor reported receiving "third call in 2 days" from related numbers, with both reported as scams. This suggests automated dialling campaigns where the same recipient is targeted repeatedly, or the caller maintains lists and cycles through them.

When contributors verified these calls directly with Commonwealth Bank, the bank confirmed the number does not belong to them. One contributor called Commonwealth Bank about a call received from 03 8595 5229 and was told "the number doesn't belong to them" and advised to block it.
