Just received a call from this number, said they were Telstra Tech and escalated to 'Manager'. Then called me an idiot customer as I wouldn't follow instructions.

Tell these Indian cons to try halal kebab for a change. And then to convert to Islam ! Tell them that they already have remote access right up their arses !

They called me saying they were the ato and I had been audited and had a tax debt that needed to be paid now and if I didn't the police would be at my door to start taking all my assets, I would loose my job etc. I believed them and I was in tears! The man I spoke to was just horrible and so rude.

Self styled Telstra "technicians " ! Probably learnt how to scam each others' private parts first ! They're curry munching scammers all out for free money ! Just f*ck them up verbally over the phone and tell them no f*ckin' curries here ! Your best deal is to contact the ACORN Australia. ACORN is a cyber criminal fighting commission that does its best to track down scammers like these. The DNCR cannot really do much.

The calls just keep coming, automatically diverted to spammer answering machine as fast as they come in but these people just won't give up.

Received a call from an "indian sounding" woman from Telstra saying that there was a problem with my internet connection and that they had detected that someone was trying to hack into my computer. I was then asked to start my computer and was then escalated to a man who wanted me to go to a web address so they could get into my computer to fix the problem.
I told them that this was bullsh*t and hung up. I know Telstra would NEVER do this sort of thing.
What I find frustrating is why Telstra or the ACCC cant stop this sort of thing from happening. It is not just a random event occurring to me, it is a highly organised effort to preying on peoples insecurities and their lack of understanding of technology.
You cant tell me that between Telstra and the ACCC that they do not know who these people are.
Stop putting out warnings that no one will ever see and just stop these rogues.

So sick of these idiots calling me. I tell them to get a real job and stop trying to scam money from people. Then I laugh at them. They don't like it when you laugh at them.

I had a call from these guys recently, telling me someone was trying to hack my computer. She got confused when I asked her to tell me my IP address so I could confirm she had the correct computer...

Said they were Telstra Tech, very noisy background and very rude. Advised them the main holder was not here and they hung up.
