NAB Impersonation Reports for 03 9022 3896

Three contributors have flagged calls from 03 9022 3896 (also written as 0390223896) as suspicious activity. One report describes a clear impersonation attempt targeting NAB customers, while two additional reports document brief hang-up calls from the same Melbourne number. The impersonation report provides specific detail: a caller with a strong English accent claimed to represent NAB and questioned the recipient about unauthorised payment activity.

The caller from 0390223896 specifically referenced a fictitious $1,000 transfer to "Rodney Smith" in the United States, attempting to pressure the recipient into confirming account details or correcting a supposed fraudulent transaction. This pattern is consistent with account takeover scams where callers use fabricated transaction claims to establish urgency and extract personal information.

What Callers from 03 9022 3896 Say

According to the detailed scam report, the caller from 03 9022 3896 opened by claiming affiliation with NAB and mentioned "funny activity" in the recipient's account. The caller then presented a specific fraudulent claim: a $1,000 payment allegedly attempted to "Rodney Smith" in the United States. This targeted questioning is designed to trigger alarm and prompt the recipient to either confirm account access or provide verification details.

When the recipient replied that they did not even have a NAB account, the caller immediately hung up. This behaviour indicates the caller was using a scripted approach and abandoned the interaction once the initial premise failed. The rapid disconnection suggests the scammer moves quickly through multiple targets rather than persisting with unconvinced individuals.

Call Patterns and Timing

Community reports about 0390223896 span from early November through late November 2025. Two reports document brief hang-up calls that lasted only seconds, with contributors unable to answer before the line disconnected. One missed call occurred on 7 November, and another on 27 November. The impersonation attempt occurred on 24 November, also by phone call.

The pattern suggests a campaign using automated or semi-automated outbound calling. The hang-up calls may represent initial contact attempts to verify active numbers, while the impersonation call represents a follow-up targeting someone the scammer believed would be receptive to a NAB-related inquiry.
