[AusNOG] New/old CBA scam

[Chris Hurley]

Hi all,

As the authorities seem either unwilling or unable to help thought I would
pass on a new scam that hit my Dad today, fortunately I walked in the middle
of it and pulled the cable.

"indian" sounding call centre rings saying We are from the CBA bank and
seeing a $700 transaction going to New Zealand. We are holding it until you
give your approval. But we think you've been hacked please let us install
Team Viewer so we can load monitoring software. If you have any doubts call
1800429339 (which always rings out).

Then they proceed to trick credit card number and PIN.

While I pulled the network cable while team viewer was running and have ran
a full system scan thinking a reformat and install might be the best option?
Already called the Bank to cancel the card. Police were very uninterested in
following this up, suggested Scamwatch.



Regards,

Chris Hurley BE (Elec), MBA
