I had a phone call from "National Review Team" 0488823058 asking questions about my Super and the insurance with the fund. Once I've declined the necessity of it as my Super is already consolidated, they offer other options to save money and started asking about my mortgage. Declined as I'm renting. they said goodbye

I also received phone calls from National Review Team from two numbers 0488822787 and 0488824042 also trying to scam super.

I wonder how the scammers seem to be spoofing their phone number in the 048882xxxx range

I just had a call from the national Review Team also from 0488 823 036 regarding my Super. I told them if the govt want to discuss my super they can email me and she hung up - but was quite persistent for information prior to this. Infuriating.

Just had a call from 0488 823 278, from an overseas call centre saying they are the "National Review Team", and that the Government is going to cancel inactive superannuation accounts with insurance attached. I said no thanks as she started into the script of questions. She had my mobile number and name already. Calling them back gave them my caller ID and name, so they're moderately well organised on their call centre.

I just had a call from 'National Review Team' and starting talking about the government freezing my super if its inactive. Blah Blah. Apart from the strong accent and not fully understanding. She got 10 seconds in before I hung up and blocked her number. 0488 810 103. How do these scammers get our names and number? Those found selling our information should be fined! I fear them knowing your name will give victims a false sense of security with these scum.

Great to find this information. Just had a call from 0488 822 568 - the 'National Review Team' - sniffed a rat in about two seconds in. Asked her some questions about who they providing a review to etc. and she couldn't answer, no thank you, goodbye. Isn't there enough going on already??

Yes, they have called me 3 times this week. The last mobile number they called from was 0488 811 314. I wasn't sure if they were Gov so I made them repeat the name of their company and googled it. Thankful that this Money mag article came up in my Search results!

Thank you very much for this article. I just had a call from the "National Review Team" from 0488 822 579 asking about my super and mortgage situation. The person was prepared for questions and forwarded me links to their company etc. Lucky for me I was on the computer googling "national review team".

Yep I also just got a call from the "national review team". Number was 0488 823 291, but they probably have access to a large pool of Australian phone numbers through some calling service.

I've just received a call from the National Review Team from ph 0488 823 291 talking about the recent Aust Govt changes to superannuation. Said they'll call back Monday after 8am to discuss options. Needless to say, after googling this I've now found out it is a scam, i won't be taking the call - thank you! I did answer a few basic questions about my age bracket, working full-time and working in Aust for at least 8 yrs- felt unsure about the call but those questions didn't seem too personal at the time..... but kicking myself for not shutting down the call earlier. Certainly won't be speaking to them on Monday!

0488823688, National Review Team called. Got my last name wrong and asked a few questions, am I between the ages of 27 and 58? Am I working full time and have I been working for over 12 years in Australia. They then said they would text me their business license number and get back to me tomorrow. Obviously, I won't be taking their call but I'm worried about my information.

Just received a call from 0488823620 caller identified himself as Darryl from Superannuation National Review Team. Very strong accent. Said he wanted to discuss new superannuation rules. When I requested a number to call him back, he said 'well don't worry about it then". He had my name and phone number though, so that has been accessed somewhere. Blocked this number but I can see above, they have many other numbers they are using all starting with 048882xxxx.

I also had a call their number was 0488 823 620

What bothers me is how they got my number and knew my name. I am a silent number.

They said they were from The National Renew Team then proceeded to ask what age group I was in etc. it was a female with a foreign accent. After me replying No to all the different age groups I was I had had enough and told her to get of my line or I would call the police then hung up. It was obvious to me she was scamming. Bothers me how she knew my name though even though she pronounced it wrong.

I received a call from National Review Team today. Smelt a rat straight away. I used to work in the financial planning industry and know my super and the super rules. Luckily for me.

It's a well run scam and it would be easy for people to be convinced to fall for it.

My concern is how they got my phone number (I'm on the do not call register) and that the man also called me by my name.

I cut him off quickly and told him that I'm a financial planner, that I was was sure he was a scammer and his response was I'll note that and he hung up.

Got the call from the dirty scams tel 040448823952 same blurb about changes to insurance /super ..

what gets me is why Aust Fed police does nothing about this for years in this country overseas scammers can obtain peoples restricted house and mobile phones and these people cause financial hardship to many unsuspecting victims , because not all people are switched on , these low lives use "official names and terms" and some believe them and pay the price ..So come on Aust authorities pull your finger and do better job protecting Aussie citizen from foreign criminals.

I just received a call from a very rude female from phone number 02 57374691 and as soon as I said I wasn't interested she retorted before quickly hanging up, "...then why did you answer, then we will just have to call you back! "...sick of these scammers!

Received a call on my mobile from 0488 824 539 which I did not answer as I do not take any calls from unknown numbers. I looked up the number on - https://www.reverseaustralia.com/ to find comments similar to here then I rang the number back with 1831 in front of the number (this hides my number) and it was answered by a well-spoken male with an Indian accent with "Nationwide Review Team". I held on for 30 secs or so but did not speak at all. I then googled "nationwide review team calls" which gave this site 1st on the list. Certainly can see plenty of helpful comments here, thank you for this article.

I have to say, I fully agree with PB's comments on July 27 saying why can't the regulatory authorities do something about these many scam callers that are easily managing to steal the hard-earned monies from many unsuspecting, vulnerable people. I feel that they can do something about this but it's just in the too hard or too expensive basket ! These people need to be dealt with !

As if we haven't already got enough to deal with in our everyday lives.

They are just people trying to do their jobs. Nothing will be lost if you will just open up your mind and try to understand. I've been called by the National Review Team and their financial advisor helped me a lot. Nothing was taken from me. Not even my personal details. They were very careful.

Exactly same thing happened to me today. The number was 0488 847 657. She calling from Nation Wide Review and said her name is Ellen but when I asked her last name she sounded irritated. She said her finance manager will call me on Monday to advise about the changes and superannuation investments. Later, I got a text message from a different number, 0401 774 563, thanking me about the earlier phone call & confirming about the phone call on Monday. But this time the message says that they are Superannuation Advice Australia (even given their FSLN 517548) rather than Nation Wide Review. I think they are the same scammer. I am getting too many scam calls (insurances, superannuation, electricity bills, etc.) nowadays and not sure why the Govt cannot do any thing about it. I cannot just ignore all phone calls even if I don't know the number because many of my clients are also calling me too. It is very annoying....

I am sorry in behalf of all citizens in Australia. I was working on National Review team and didn't know that it is a scam firm. I was just shocked when i read this article. The management have thought us that where just appoint some appointments for those people in AU who have supperannuation to help them check not to be affected with the recent government changes. The national review team has changed its firm name now called SUPER INFORMATION TEAM so please guys be aware of this cold callings and i regret that I did not research more about the firm.

Finally got someone who reponded saying they're from the "super information team". This is after many many calls to my voice mail not leaving any messages, or leaving messages that do not state what they're after. Simply put if they're not going to bother leaving a message with the reason for the call, then it's not worth returning the call! They know some of your details from leaked online information, and they're trying to obtain even more information if out from you, if not trying to scam you into a false sense of security and handing over financial details.

This is happening again. When I laughed at what they said they were doing and for asking for my private data, I responded by asking where they obtained my law firm's mobile from because it seemed rather stupid for a legitimate company to be none stop calling a law firm late at night and on weekends to speak to anyone about their personal super, they hung up. I called back. Funny, it was a different Phillipines telemarking woman that answered but with the same name!! ?? I think if I called 40 times I'd get the same name. I asked for their ABN number it was 666 446 05363. Apparently, a private company registered in QLD in 2020 all about providing Information Services with trading names that assist with your Super. So sick of these scammers!!!

This article is a great help, I have been contacted several times by the number 0488822576, which i now realize is just one of many numbers in this string of spoofing attempts. I realized it's a scam when I googled the number and came across this articles, and also from other previous victims who have commented on their caller app. ( tellows-au.com/num/0488822576 )
