Phishing text supposedly from Credit Provider (HSBC in this case)
"Your payment of **** AUD to *** ****** has been held for security reasons. If you haven’t attempted this transaction please contact us on +61285275092. Otherwise please allow 24 hours for your payment to be submitted."
I love these ones - I block my CLID and give them a call back at 3:45am. This guy has recorded HSBC's recorded messages and it plays when you make the call and he keeps you on hold for a few minutes so that it feels legit. You can still tell you got him out of bed/woke him up when he answers :-) rather than as the operator straight off another call. He sounds very British. I put on a voice and go into a panic about how I want him to stop the payment immediately. He tries very hard to Phish for personal details. Each time he starts to pressure me for a piece of information, I start to give him something false and then go back into the panic about stopping the payment and how distressed I am. My favourite was getting 9 digits into a (made up) credit card number and then starting the panic again :-) . He got really annoyed. This guy has a short fuse and is easy to rattle if you're up for a bit of fun

Your phone just got more protection against...
If you haven’t been warned recently that your car warranty has expired, that something has gone badly wrong with your Social Security account or that you are in big trouble with the Internal Revenue Service, then you must not have a phone.

How do we count views for a phone number?
It is a number of views of a page. Only one access a day is counted for a device. We try not to let the number be influenced by search engine access so it should only be the number of views by real visitors.
Who creates the database and how is the trustworthiness of the comments ensured?
The database of phone numbers and comments is created by users themselves through the website.
Comments can be added by registered users anonymously as well. Just like any other forum, it is not possible to 100% ensure the credibility of the comments. Therefore we reserve the right to delete comments or block comments for a particular number 0285275092.
Every user can deactivate any comment until the moderators deal with it. Just click the Delete button in the menu found at each comment. The user is then redirected to a short form where they can explain to moderators why they believe the comment is harmful.
Is the forum moderated?
The forum is partly moderated. Thousands of comments are added to the site daily so it is not in our power to check them all. Therefore we deal mainly with suspicious and reported comments.
