Fake Bank Alert: Don't Fall for It!
Summary — +61251381237
Expert Opinion
Scammers operate this number, impersonating trusted entities like banks, PayPal, or Microsoft to extract personal info or access. Vodafone flags it as suspected scam, and reports confirm aggressive tactics, such as blocking app checks or inventing payment issues. Hang up immediately on such calls—never verify details with the caller. Report to authorities like the ACCC or your telco to curb these nuisances. Block the number and enable spam filters for protection. If engaged, avoid sharing any data; wasting their time is fine but risky.
