Second, was a recorded voice claiming to be from ANZ credit cards re a "suspected" irregular transaction on my ANZ credit card. I don't have an ANZ credit card.

I received a call from 03 7049 4886 today advising she was calling from the Security Team at Card Services regarding two international payments that were attempted from international payments for Amazon and Bitcoin. Thankfully she said they had stopped it but wanted to know if this was correct or not. I asked if she was calling from my bank but she said no. She advised she was located at 242 Exhibition St Melbourne and only confirmed the company was Card Services. I advised her I would call my bank about this and she hung up. Definitely a scam! Watch out!
