A scammer pretends to be a Chinese tapping insurance company… total nonsense.
Unsolicited Call Warning!
Summary — +61240729135
Expert Opinion
Reports highlight a pattern of deceptive calls mimicking legitimate entities to extract personal details. One instance involves a fake Commonwealth Bank alert about a $1800 debit card transaction, prompting confirmations that could lead to account compromise. Another claims affiliation with a 'China tapping insurance company,' dismissed as nonsense by recipients. A third presents as an unsolicited insurance firm, with a callback revealing a recorded message—yet advised against engagement. These tactics exploit trust in banks and insurers. Hang up immediately on suspicious automated messages; never press options or share info. Verify directly with official channels using known contact numbers. Enable call blocking apps and report to authorities like the ACCC to curb such fraud.

An insurance firm called; after returning the number I reached a live line with a recorded greeting confirming it was an insurance company. It was an unwanted call—best to ignore.
