(03) 9683 8833

I got a call from some bloke named Mark who tried to freak me out saying there were suspicious transactions on my card. Said he needed my card number while I was driving. Like, seriously? I told him I couldn’t get it and he asked me to pull over! Mate, why wouldn’t you just send me a text to verify? What a shonky operation!

So I got a call today from a guy claiming he's from ANZ Fraud Department. He starts saying there are some dodgy overseas transactions on my card and asks if I've got my card handy. I mention I can log into the app, and then he says the dodgy transactions are "not authorised yet." Please! What a load of rubbish!

On April 26, 2025, I received six calls from the same number within two minutes. Initially, they rang, and when I didn't answer, they immediately called back. My partner answered the phone, and they asked for me by name. He stated that he would go get me, but left them on hold for an extended period. After hanging up, they called another four times. This behavior is quite unreasonable.

A caller spoofed ANZ’s official number and attempted to solicit my banking details. They called me eight times in just two minutes and continued to call even after I hung up! Legitimate banks typically send emails or leave messages when they cannot reach you. Please be cautious!

The call was a notification confirming that my ANZ App was registered on a new device on June 16, 2024, at 6:06 PM AEST. They instructed that if I did not make this change or suspect that my account security was compromised, I should contact them immediately at 13 33 50 or (03) 9683 8833 if calling from outside Australia.

I was contacted by a scammer who claimed that I had applied for a credit card in Guangzhou, China. The call seemed designed to extract my personal information.

I received a call from someone claiming that purchases of seven guns were made online using my ANZ credit card. However, I do not possess a credit card with ANZ. They also mentioned my old home address and requested that I verify my identity, which I refused to do. I ended the call, as I strongly believe this was a scam.

I received a call from this number but didn’t answer because I don’t have an account with ANZ Bank.

I answered the call because my iPhone displayed the caller ID as ANZ. A woman on the line addressed me by my first name but pronounced my last name incorrectly. She claimed that I had purchased seven firearms using my credit card. This really alarmed me since I don’t have any credit card with ANZ! It was quite absurd, to be honest.

I received a call from a lady with an Asian accent who knew my name and attempted to discuss my credit card, but she hung up after a few seconds. This interaction raised concerns that it might be a scam.

The caller identified herself as an employee of ANZ bank and questioned me about a supposed purchase of $14,000 for a firearm using my ANZ credit card. However, I don't own any credit card and I’m a senior citizen living on a pension.

I received a call from a woman claiming to be an employee of ANZ. She stated I had an ANZ Gold credit card created at the Guangzhou China Branch and mentioned unusual activity. To "protect" me, she claimed she needed to confirm if I was the one making the purchases. She knew my name and email address, which I found very suspicious.

A woman with a strange accent called me, claiming that an ANZ credit account had been opened in my name. She had my full name and phone number, but she listed an incorrect address for me. She also mentioned that her job ID was 412816.

I received three calls from this number in just a few seconds.

I received a call saying that there were two suspicious transactions on my ANZ bank account that had been paused. However, the caller knew I was in Sydney while they claimed to be in Adelaide. They asked me to confirm if they were speaking with *insert my first and last name* and inquired about the number of accounts I hold with ANZ. This felt like a scam, especially after I called ANZ directly and confirmed it was fraudulent. Interestingly, their contact number was listed on the official ANZ website, which is confusing.

The caller claimed to be from the ANZ Fraud Department, stating that they detected suspicious transactions on my account. The individual sounded very convincing and tried to persuade me that my phone had a virus that compromised the banking app. I decided to hang up and confirmed with ANZ directly, which revealed that it was indeed a scam.

I just had a call from someone impersonating the ANZ fraud department. The caller ID showed it was from Melbourne, Victoria.

This is a SCAM!!! The callers pretended to be from ANZ bank and claimed my account had been hacked, urging me to confirm personal details. I hung up and suggest others block this number.

I received a call from someone claiming to represent ANZ Bank. I suspect this is a scam attempt.

I received a call from someone claiming to be from 'ANZ.' The phone number appeared to be legitimate, and the caller, with a UK accent named Daniel, mentioned a text alerting me that someone was attempting to withdraw $5,000 from my account. He then attempted to obtain my new CRN and PIN, prompting me to hang up and contact ANZ directly.

Do not engage with this caller! He identified himself as Daniel and sounded convincing with a pleasant English accent, but I suspect he's a complete scammer.

205498: I received a call from a man who identified himself as working for ANZ. He was very convincing and led me to believe that my account had been compromised. He asked me to set up a new account due to this issue and had a lot of personal details about my banking information. However, I later contacted ANZ, and they confirmed it was a scam. Please be warned and careful about such calls!

A call was made from someone who introduced himself as an employee of ANZ. He claimed they detected an unusual $200 transaction from my bank account originating from another Australian state. He requested my full name, but I felt uncomfortable and hung up. I later contacted ANZ and was informed that scammers often spoof their phone numbers to appear legitimate.

This is a clear scam call. The caller asked for my personal details and wanted to verify if I had made a fraudulent transaction in another state. I disconnected the call after sensing something was off. I later confirmed with ANZ that scammers tend to use their phone number to appear more legitimate.

I received a call from someone who claimed to be from ANZ Bank. They sounded convincing, but thankfully, ANZ detected the fraud before any harm was done to my account. This just goes to show how vigilant we need to be.

These scammers targeted my 17-year-old. If you receive a link asking you to confirm whether a particular transaction is unusual, do not click on it! They will then call you to attempt to set up a new account to transfer your money. Please contact ANZ directly at 13 33 50 if you suspect any fraudulent activity.

I received a call from someone pretending to be from the ANZ fraud department. They claimed I had two fraudulent transactions and that my card and accounts were compromised. They tried to persuade me to open a new account with the information they provided and to transfer all my funds. Interestingly, the call originated from Melbourne, but when I asked where they were based, they claimed to be in Sydney.

This number belongs to a scammer who claimed to have details about my card transactions and attempted to conduct an online transaction. They said they were from Sydney, but the call originated from Melbourne, raising red flags.

181611: I received a call from scammers who were very convincing and claimed to be able to access my internet banking account. If you receive a call from this number, do not answer! I almost got caught up in the scam, but I sensed something was off and decided to hang up.

I advise you not to answer this number. I was scammed by them when they posed as ANZ (Australia and New Zealand Banking Group).
