SCAM - TARGETING OXENFORD TEL NOS

Note from a fellow Oxenford resident today:

"A week or so ago a lady rang to enquire who our home loan was with, I remember cause it sounded suss and I told her a diff bank name (but one we do use). 

Today I received a call from a man saying he was from this bank, and that office of fair trading had made them aware of overcharges on my account of $40 that they would pay me back with 8% interest, and somebody would call me tomorrow about it, but he had to fill in a form now. He then asked for my DOB. 

When I said I didn't know if he was from this bank and didn't think I should tell him, there was a pause then he hung up. I rang my bank and they said if anyone calls from there you can ask for the staff members ID code and call them back on their standard 13... etc number. 

Looks like I won't be receiving any little bonuses, but at least what I have should be safe - REMEMBER: don't give out personal info unless you're certain who is receiving it :)"
