Community Safety Reports
Classifications reflect anonymised community-submitted reports and represent observed interaction patterns only. They do not identify callers or constitute verified findings.
Pattern status reflects statistical distribution of community reports and does not indicate verified activity.
Reporting volume is limited. Interpret pattern status cautiously.
Additional reports may refine pattern assessment over time.
These reports contribute to the Community Risk Level and Confidence assessment shown above.
The following reports are user-submitted and not independently verified. Consider them alongside the aggregated signals above.
The caller claimed there was unauthorised activity on my debit card and sounded convincing at first. However, when I mentioned that I would like to call ING myself to verify the information, he revealed the first five digits of my Visa card and stated that there were two suspicious transactions - one for $1,000 at Big W and another for $9,000 with QANTAS. His tone changed when I insisted on contacting ING, and he abruptly hung up. This raises major red flags and I believe it was a scam.
I received a call from a man named Andy claiming to be from ING bank. However, I recognized this as a potential scam, as I've heard similar stories before. I informed him that I would hang up and contact ING directly myself for verification.
The caller identified himself as an English-speaking representative from a supposed "fraudulent department," claiming to investigate transactions. I advise against sharing any personal information, as legitimate banks will never contact you this way.
I also experienced a similar situation recently and found this post helpful. The caller sounded very convincing, making it hard to discern whether it was legitimate.
Community reports are retained as historical safety signals within the Reverseau telecommunications safety dataset and may reflect different experiences over time.
