Yes, I had the same call!!! You know they are calling from overseas? Government orginazation?! Doubt that!

Just had a call this morning from a lady who asked me to verify my identity and call back Mark Jones on (02) 8005 4979 same details as other comments except they said a Gavin Rogers would deliver my cheque number 22950 within 2 hrs of me sending money to western union acc. She said the fee was for lawyers fees and this was the only way it could be paid. I said i think this is a scam and she said OK so you want me to cancel your application I said yes thanks and started to say that it was unfair to treat people like this and she hung up on me!!!

Today at 12.15pm I got a telephone call from a man with an indian accent called Domenic!!!  He told me he was calling as part of an Australian Government Initiative for the Bank Reclaim Expert Department in regards to overcharged bank fees.  He knew most of my details which concerned me.  He told me that I had the amount of $4851.00 owing to me, I told him that I didn't believe him and that something wasn't right.  He then gave me a application code of  DS345 and told me to ring his managers either Mark Jones or Rebecca Brown on (02) 8005 4979 and that they could help me.  I rang that number and got more indians who gave me numerous names.  I called a 2nd time and no one spoke to me so I told them that I have contacted my local police as i think they are trying to scam me and that they are going to follow it up and then I hung up.  I haven't heard anything since.  Hopefully this helps other potential victims out there.

My partner also had a call said the government had taken money from his credit card and they wanted to repay it I explained that if it had come from our credit card that would have been shown on the statement but he tried to tell me that it wasn't the case.  Anyway he also got told to Mark Jones on that same no. we have tried but no answer or engaged is this a fraud.  Same amount $4851.

Funny that.

I just had another scammer, trying to tell me that I was owed $4,851.00 and he was from a company called Reclaim Expert Department. They tell you your bank has over charged you and broking the law and the Australian Government want them to pay you back. They give you their so called managers names and then say call them to give them your details so you can have the cash deposited into your bank account within 2 days. AGAIN PLEASE don't give any information out
