NAB Impersonation Scam Reports for 08 9677 5298
Sixteen contributors have reported aggressive impersonation activity from 08 9677 5298 (also written as 0896775298), with callers falsely claiming to represent NAB. The core issue: multiple reports confirm that NAB has no branch or call centre in Beverley, WA, yet callers consistently reference this location. Several contributors verified directly with NAB that the bank was not initiating these calls.
The impersonation tactic is remarkably consistent across reports from 0896775298. Callers reference specific personal details (full names, account information) to build credibility before requesting identity confirmation or directing recipients to press buttons. One contributor noted the caller mispronounced their name despite knowing it, a common impersonation tell. Another report detailed a caller mentioning "new credit and bank cards" without confirming the recipient's identity first-the opposite of legitimate bank protocol.
Robocall and Automation Patterns from 08 9677 5298
Five separate reports mention pre-recorded or automated messages from 08 9677 5298, indicating this number operates robocall infrastructure. One contributor received an automated NAB-branded message asking to press 1, while another experienced an AGL impersonation robocall from the same number. A third report described 200+ blocked voicemail messages accumulating over time from 0896775298.
The frequency is striking: one contributor received 9 calls within 2 days, another reported receiving 2-3 calls daily, and a separate contributor found the number was calling "multiple times daily" despite being blocked for a year. Contributors describe receiving calls at odd hours with no voicemail left, and one noted being called on a Saturday during a long weekend-when legitimate banks typically do not contact customers.
What Callers from 08 9677 5298 Claim
Reports reveal a narrow set of scripts used by callers from 08 9677 5298. The most common claim is an urgent account or payment issue: one caller mentioned an "overdue credit card payment," while others reference vague follow-ups requiring immediate action. Contributors report being asked to "press 1" to proceed, a classic robocall redirection tactic that isolates the recipient from being able to verify the caller's identity.
When callers from 0896775298 do speak directly, they often claim to represent the "closest NAB branch to Beverly" or identify as a "NAB call centre in Beverley." One report describes a caller mentioning "new credit and bank cards" as an apparent account update. The caller ID consistently shows "Beverley WA" across reports, suggesting deliberate spoofing of a local area code.
Report Patterns and Timing
The allocation data shows 08 9677 5298 is registered to a Symbio Networks local service in WA, though this does not verify legitimate ownership. Multiple reports span from June 2023 through March 2026, indicating this number has been active in scam operations for nearly three years. The persistence is notable: one contributor discovered over 200 blocked voicemail messages from 0896775298 accumulated in their blocked folder, suggesting the number operates on automated redial loops rather than manual calling campaigns.
Channel analysis shows callers from 08 9677 5298 employ multiple contact methods: answered calls, missed calls, and voicemail drops. One report described a single voicemail about a political campaign for "Durack in WA," suggesting the number may have been used for multiple scam operations or sold across criminal networks. Contributors consistently describe the number as a "definite scam" after verifying with NAB that no such branch exists.
