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.

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 also received a call from (02) 8094 4201. They said they were from Avon Marketing and were calling in regards to the Commonwealth Bank. I told them I wasn't interested in anything they had to say as it sounded dodgy and the bank would never issue a call like that. I reported it to the Commonwealth Bank, they said they would keep a record of it and notify other customers, but there is not much you can really do.

I just got the call too. Same as the above post. Picked up but not answer, just a silent line.

Hi all just a call from this number as well AVON DIRECT - Insurance products represteing major financial institions they left a return number on there message bank: 1300 305 515

i got a call has well they have been ringing me a few times a day the one time i answered they didnt talk just hanged up after a few seconds

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.
