After receiving a message from this number earlier in the day, purportedly from Medibank, thanking me for contacting them and warning of an upcoming call, which I had not initiated, I blocked a subsequent call from the same number, suspecting a scam.

Expert Opinion
Imagine getting a call from a familiar health insurer right after you request an online quote. The voice may sound official, but callers often use high‑pressure tactics or silent drops to test numbers. Always double‑check the caller ID against the official Medibank number listed on their website, and avoid sharing personal info such as DOB or policy details until you initiate a callback on a verified line. If the call feels off, let it go to voicemail and confirm the outreach through the insurer’s portal or email. Blocking repeat numbers and reporting suspicious activity to Medibank’s fraud team can stop unwanted follow‑ups.
