I had $1000 taken from my account. They set up a two degrees site, text to say my bill was due, I went to pay and it asked me to update my details (name and email). Long story short they had my details and then called me and said fraud was happening and had all my details. The bank has cancelled card etc The number is still live so you can always give them a call. I handed number over to bank and my phone company the number but they didnt really care.
Man with australian accent called from "westpac" from this number. A recent sms phishing link to 2-degrees was accessed in my early morning haze to pay my bill 'before services get cut off'. Ten minutes later i put a block on the CC as the URL was identified as malicious through online RBL. With Credit card details compromised, the call came through about 'suspicious activity' on my account a couple of days after. They asked for the response to one of my security questions (in order to bypass my password). At this point i was concerned as they sent me a verification code to read back to them so that they could 'cancel the 15k payment transfer', although the text read "to verify transaction". After challenging the individual about the legitimacy, another male with either middle-eastern or east-asian accent got on the line and proceeded to insult my in bad english. bank account locked down, saved 15k.
