Just had a call from (02) 8003 4956 saying I was entitled to $7000 pYment from federal government. They asked for dob and told me to call a Sydney number. I hate them. They're make everyone paranoid. I can't trust anyone calling anymore. Ratbags!

Just had a call saying I was entitled to $7200 from the govt for overcharging bank fees. Asked if I wanted a cheque or put into my bank a/c. I asked why this isn't on the news and he said it was and I must have missed it.??There are heaps of people receiving their cheques. He said he can send a cheque to my address which he told me and he would give me a reference number but I needed to give him some personal details first such as DOB. I said no and that I didn't trust that this was true, he then hung up. Call came from a PRIVATE number but man with Indian accent (no surprise)

just had a call telling me to call this number...but the initial number came up as private. same info asking for dob and telling me I had over $7000 in bank fees due back to me! Even with the rort fees the banks charge this is a stretch!!

This number relates to a Mexican scam seeking date of birth to verify your right to a refund of monies supposedly held by the Federal Government after retrieving it from overcharging by banks. You only get this number when you first give the initial caller your DOB. He knew my initial and surname and address. I had some fun with him with a false DOB to follow the trail..it led to this number. The initial call came from +52678945623.

My mum got this call today saying same thing. She, a pensioner, called and spoke to a woman who went to "collect her file" and then a bleeping sound...he called a further 3 times insisting she be persistent.

An obvious scammer claiming they have Government rebates

Had the same 9/7/2014 and told us we were payin the bank in charges that we weren't suppose to be paying and they had a cheque for 7800 had to call back and ask for the same  people  but a different ID number

Exactly same story. I told him that I don't think I've paid bank charges to the tune of $7,300 over the 3 years and he said it's just that I didn't. Asked me to call his managers, Angelina Cooper/Alice Wilson to proceed to get sent the cheque. Dumb w**kers.

My sister received a call with same story and was told to go to post office to transfer $199 for lawyer one off fee to retrieve he 7000$ and to call them whilst in post office to get more details of where the money needs to be sent to and also not to reveal the details to any one including post office people as it would get classified as corporate transaction and may get charged in 1000'$ of dollars  

These low life scumbags who wouldn't do an honest days work if was to save their lives just keep coming up with new ways to scam people out of their hard earned money. I have received these calls as well including the fake Qantas holiday one, it's got to the stage that anyone who calls me gets the same reception "Not interested, go away" even if they are legit. What is the world coming to? I now record the conversations on my voice recorder for evidence should it ever be required and I report each call to the "Scam" website.

My mum got this call today saying same thing. She, a pensioner, called and spoke to a woman who went to "collect her file" and then a bleeping sound...he called a further 3 times insisting she be persistent.

An Indian sounding guy called saying he was from the Australian Federal Government and that I was owed $7,260 as my bank had overcharged me over a period of 3 years on several fees. He wanted me to phone this number (02) 8003 4956 and ask for Angelina Cooper or Alice Wilson who were his managers and quote ID "SK13" and then they would send me a cheque.  Yeah right!
