Received a call today spoke to a person they say they work for AVON marketing and calling on behalf of the commonwealth bank.
Wanted personal details, but knew my name?
I can't tell if it is a scam or not but seems pretty dodgy.

Yeh same here, 3 times a day, every day and even another number used is (02) 8094 4441. Rang back and got automated message saying thanks for contacting Avon direct/ affinity marketing. Bloody annoying, have to put phone on silent or turn off. Rang Optus and said cant block number and I should change mine.

Had a missed call from this number this morning, then they rang me back in the afternoon. She said they were calling Commonwealth Bank customers who had been sent an offer in the mail for CommInsure (which I remember receiving). Decided to google it after the call ended. From the fine print on a CBA insurance webpage: If you apply online you’ll be redirected to a secure site hosted by AEGON Direct and Affinity Marketing Services Australia Pty Ltd ABN 35 082 524 785 AFSL 236657 (AEGON). If you call the above number you will be speaking to customer service representatives from AEGON. AEGON is authorised to issue these policies on behalf of CommInsure. Please see AEGON's Financial Services Guide here. Seems legit, but if you're worried then don't give any personal info and then check out the product online or call back on the number CBA provides.

I have received this call on my mobile. I rang it back and it was a marketing message. Before the message was entirely finished they hung up. I did unsubscribe from ShoppingExpress. I wonder if they are related.

Recevied a phone call from (02) 8094 4201 seemed very dodgy, saying they work for Avon Marketing and the call was regarding the Commonwealth Bank.They knew my name but then was asking for my name like how security questions are normally asked. Becareful seems like a scam. I have noticed on the net that there are a few people having similar problems can we report it at all?

I just got a call from (02) 8094 4201. I missed the call but whats written in this thread is scary stuff. If other people have got calls before then it means they are not legit. I'd better keep my eyes peeled.

I've had 3 calls from this number in the last week. I know not to answer them because I've been getting calls from 02 numbers for the last few months. I don't know what they want but I'm sure it's dodgy.
