Police are investigating a new type of scam that operates a fake bank call centre using an Australian phone number.
The call centre has automated computer voices to dupe callers into providing their credit card numbers.
It is linked to a large email scam, or phishing, campaign that imitates official messages from the Commonwealth Bank.
The phone number, which appears to be based in NSW, has been sent via email, SMS, or voicemail, the Commonwealth Bank said.
The scam traits are email requests for private information or to collect prizes/rewards; poor grammar and punctuation; non-Australian voice recordings, unusual or unrecognisable email or phone details and embedded Web Links/email address ‘click throughs’
