Suspicious calls from this number often start with silence or hang-ups, then shift to impersonating Medibank or UBANK to extract personal info like name, DOB, and address. This pattern screams scam tactics, especially post-Medibank's data breach, where hackers exploit stolen details for phishing. Real companies never demand sensitive data upfront without verification. Hang up immediately if you get such calls, and report to authorities like the ACCC or your telecom provider. Block the number, enable call screening, and monitor accounts for unusual activity—don't engage or callback. If you're a Medibank customer, contact them directly via official channels to confirm any issues.
