How to Verify Calls from 03 9917 9458

If you receive a call from 03 9917 9458 and are uncertain about its legitimacy:

• Do: Check your recent account activity on the official Coles website or app - legitimate callbacks typically relate to orders or refunds you've initiated
• Do: Hang up and call Coles' official customer service number (1800 227 226) to verify the callback
• Do: Ask the caller for their name and reference number if they reach you, then independently verify with Coles
• Do not: Provide payment details, passwords, or personal information you haven't verified the caller about first
• Do not: Click links or download apps during the call - hang up and contact Coles directly

Legitimate Coles callbacks about 03 9917 9458 will only discuss orders or refunds you've already reported to the company. If the caller mentions unexpected refunds, account issues unrelated to your recent contact, or requests unusual information, it may be a scam mimicking this genuine number.

• Never assume a similar-sounding number is the same service
