Got a call from a scammer.

Caller: Hi, Gun? This is Babooshka Gupta, I'm calling you from Commonwealth bank. We saw that you made a $400 transaction in the US.

Me: What? Commonwealth bank? Really?

Caller: Yes. We need you to give us some information.

Me: Bullshit, I don't have a Commonwealth Bank account.

Call ended.

Is this what happens after you get COVID? All the other bullshits follow?

Another one from the same group just called and was speaking to me in their language. I spoke to her in another language too. She hung up. Crazy.🤦‍♀️

Now folks, let us understand that this was probably the guy's actual name.

Thanks a lot, Gun. I keep reading that name and laughing.

ANYways, I usually just give them my bank info. The routing number is 7 and the account number is 3.

Babooshka, my gyod am I the only one that thinks that sounds like a disorder that caused twerkelepsy?

You should have asked the scammer to tell you the details of the account you were alleged to have, then go to your nearest CBA branch and provide the info to them. Scammers deserve to be reverse-played.

@butterflybaby75 Maybe next time. I just picked up one of my girls from school coz she's not feeling well.

@GunFinger Careful though, i have heard of these calls masquerading as police or other law enforcement too. In some countries. Personally i just troll them coz it's fun to hear them get real angry 😅

@SW-User always careful. Thank you. Sometimes we get calls from the Australian Federal Police. They say we'll get arrested if we don't talk to them. They want our bank details etc.
