Someone claimed to be from Service NSW, knew my name and said someone had been using my Service NSW ID. I ended the call, so I’m unsure what info they wanted.
Scam Impersonating Official ID Check

Expert Opinion
Imposters mimicking trusted government services rarely slip up on personal details like your full name, which makes these calls disarmingly credible at first glance. Here, the scammer posed as Service NSW, alleging unauthorized use of your ID to spark panic and extract sensitive info such as login credentials or financial details. Hanging up was a smart move—always verify such claims independently through official channels, never via the incoming call. Block the number and report to authorities like the ACCC or ACMA to curb their reach. Stay vigilant; these tactics prey on trust in familiar institutions, so question urgency and use two-factor authentication for accounts.
