It is Telstra 100% - Call them back

Caller: Telstra

Not a scam call, Telstra automated call for unpaid bill

this is an automated Telstra call back, usually for account payment chasing.

Caller: Telstra automated message

I think it’s broken. They called relentlessly all day but I answered the first one and knew I didn’t have time because of work, so when I finally humoured them in the afternoon and let it play through, I followed the prompts to a credit card payment for $0.00

This went on for a couple of days, I called, sat on hold for probably a total of an hour or more over multiple attempts to speak to someone with no results. So I’ve just started checking the numbers on here and periodically blocking them. They will surely run out of ports to call off eventually right? Haha.

They constantly tell people in our town that there is no free ports for new connections! Maybe they could give up 1 or 1000 from this stupid “robot” call...

Why would I get a message from Testa to pay my bill when my bill is paid.

Have confirmed with Telstra - this is 100000% a scam number

this is actually a genuine Telstra number

Got a recorded call on my mobile phone from this number saying it was advice about a possible service disruption. Said the call was for "XX" and a different voice then said my name. How did they know my name if it's not Telstra? It wanted me to "press 1" for more information. I hesitated for about 5 seconds and the call disconnected.

Called my work mobile didn't leave a message and called again mentioning overdue bill. My work phone is managed within a corporate account - massive scam

Caller: I don't know, but this number comes up regularly on my home phone & mobile. My wife has taken a call on the home phone

I pay my bills by auto debit to credit card. I checked. payments are up to date. It's a scam.

Caller: Telstra

Legit call, reminder to pay bill

they call me from telstra.... SCAM

not leaving a message and no success ringing number back. Too many scammers and figure if important will ring back and /or leave a message

This can’t be Telstra reminding me to pay a late bill because my parents pay my bill lol, scam fam

i can assure you its a scam. i have just got off the phone from Telstra + had it confirmed. scammers are after personal information + confirming that the account holder is correct + then supplying a date of birth is helping out with pieces of the puzzle. hang up.

I don't have an issue with people chasing an amount due, but if it's genuine why can't the caller leave a voice message? Just plain manners unless it's a scam 😂

I get these calls, and they ask me to confirm my name, but the birth year they give is my wife's. If I put in my day and month of birth instead, it tells me "I didn't get that" a couple of times and then apologises that it can't continue the call. This time I gave my wife's day and month instead, and it accepted that. It told me I had an overdue amount (which was true -- it stated the right amount) and offered ways to pay it. It had all the right info EXCEPT that it got my and my wife's birthdates mixed around.

Hypothesis: it IS legitimate, but it's not Telstra, not exactly. More likely it's a collection agency masquerading as Telstra with the full approval of Telstra, but some of its data is wrong which is why it got confused about birthdates. It might even be the credit management department inside Telstra, but that doesn't explain why their information is wrong. Is Telstra really so incompetent that they can't keep track of birthdates inside their own computer system?

Oh wait... Telstra... incompetent... yeah, that question really answers itself, doesn't it?

Caller: Telstra

Seriously - I don't know why people think this is a scam - it is Telstra. Annoying? Yes! A robot? Yes! A scam? No! Just Telstra trying to get the money you owe on your late bill. I have paid my bill many times through this annoying robot call and the money has always been paid to my account (and no extra money taken from my account). Scammers take your money, and don't pay your bills (unless they are taking even more from you).

Caller: Fraudulent Telemarking

Claiming to be Telstra are defs not

This is a fraudulent call. Claiming the phone bill is overdue when it’s not, asking for urgent payment. Suggested the call was about an unscheduled service interruption. They tricked us into entering date of birth, they knew year of birth. Don’t give out information to these people.
