What to Do If You Receive a Call from 0422 965 763

If 0422 965 763 calls you:

• Do not: Answer if you don't recognise the number, share any personal information (name, address, account numbers, passwords, dates of birth), or confirm that you are the account holder
• Do: Let the call go to voicemail, hang up immediately if you do answer, block the number in your phone settings, and report it to your service provider
