A call appeared from a mobile number, and the person addressed me by name, claiming I needed to confirm my Commonwealth Bank credit‑card details after an alleged overseas charge exceeding $1,000. Amid a noisy Indian‑accented background, I requested the full card number; he only provided the first four digits common to all Mastercards and refused the rest. I terminated the call, ignored the callback, and found no such transaction.

Expert Opinion
The call is a textbook phishing scam aimed at harvesting banking credentials. The offender pretended to be a bank representative, used a generic greeting, and referenced a nonexistent overseas transaction to create urgency. The vague reference to only the first four digits of a card is a common ploy to appear legitimate while keeping the victim from verifying details. Hang‑up was the right move; do not engage with callbacks. Block the number, report it to your bank’s fraud desk, and consider enabling two‑factor authentication on all accounts. Keep a log of similar calls to help authorities track patterns.
