I have just received a phone message saying $399.00 from our account to pay for a phone.

[2246ksmith]

Have just received a phone call saying from E-Bay $399.00 being drawn from our account for a phone.

To dial 1 to speak to someone, dialed1 and immediately disconnected

We have not made any phone purchase.

We already have our phones.

Is this a scam call?

Cheers

SCAM, don't respond.

100% scam, as posted many times about already on the forum

Not eBay nor about eBay purchases (even the real eBay do not call people who fail to pay sellers for their purchases) 

Expect more calls now you have pressed 1 and verified you are a 'live' number

Watch out for emails allegedly from 'PayPal' saying your account has been suspended. 

Don't click the very dodgy link - just delete the message!

Got two of those as well

And an identical one but from 'DHL' 

(At least the scammers managed to spell DHL right)

How do you get an Australia Post logo and a dodgy link in a phone call?

I think what south coffee means is that instead of a phone number coming up when the phone rings there is the Australia Post. But that wouldn't explain the link so probably what's meant is that there has been a message with Australia Post supposedly as the sender and the link there.
