When I picked up, the caller ID showed Swan Hill, background was noisy, and a man claimed to be from Visa/Mastercard saying a $900 transaction had occurred in the last half hour. I told him I didn't have a card and he hung up immediately.
Bank Scam Alert: Fake Transaction Calls?
Summary — +61340260401
Expert Opinion
In rural Victoria during midday hours, calls like this from unfamiliar numbers often signal scam attempts mimicking banks to extract personal details. The noisy background and urgent claims of fraudulent transactions, like a $900 charge or Commonwealth Bank cancellation, are classic red flags—legitimate institutions never demand immediate info over unsolicited calls. Hang up without engaging, and report to authorities such as the ACCC or your bank to block the number. Enable call screening on your phone to filter unknowns, and verify any concerns directly through official app or website channels. This protects against identity theft without unnecessary stress.
