I was contacted by someone saying they were from the Commonwealth Bank and asked how I was doing. When I pressed for details, they mentioned a $400‑plus transaction detected this morning and asked if I had made it. I pointed out I don't have a Commonwealth Bank account, and the call ended almost immediately.

Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, this call mimics a trusted bank to lure you into sharing details. The scammer claimed to detect a suspicious $400 transaction on a Commonwealth Bank account, but the quick hang-up after your denial screams fraud—real banks verify you first, never the other way around. Hang up immediately on unsolicited calls asking for account info; never confirm personal details over the phone. Report to authorities like the ACCC or your bank to block the number and protect others. Playing along risks deeper hooks, so stay vigilant and use call-blocking apps for peace of mind.
