Had call today claiming internet was being hacked Caller claimed to be from telstra Checked with telstra and no person exists with ID and name given We were asked to call (02) 8006 8485 on a landline A big SCAM. BEWARE

had a call advising my Internet was being suspended for 14-21 days because illegal activity was being detected linked to our broadband. Gave (02) 8006 8485 as her contact details at 363 Oxford St Paddington, which is a Telstra data centre. When asked for her details Scarlett D046122 was given = fake id

I am guardian for a lady with dementia, who is in permanent care. She has a mobile set up for incoming calls only (so we can call her) and this number has phoned her numerous times. I have called and asked them to stop, but they keep calling. I don't know what they say to her, but can see that they have called repeatedly, sometimes connecting.

This number has telephoned not only me but also my husband and informed us our internet is being hacked. Rand Telstra SCAM please beware

I had 2 calls today from (02) 8006 8485 one on my mobile and one on my land line within 5 minutes of each other (from different persons), both claiming to be from Telstra and saying my internet would be disconnected for several months. In their best Indian/English accents it was easy to recognise them as scammers. I asked one why the internet would be disconnected and he hung up and the I didn't give the second caller (a girl) the chance to continue, I just hung up. This is just a big scam.

2 missed calls.
Answered 1.
Claimed to be Telstra, told me there was a virus on my PC, (which I do not own) and my internet connection is not with Telstra
And needed my I.P. address, to which I said "If you are with Telstra, shouldn't you have that?"

Told me to "go f$&@ myself" and hung up

I have had missed calls from this number both day and night, at least 4 a week. Tried to call back - 'number currently unavailable'. Pain in the proverbial...

Keep getting calls frim this number at all hours but they keep hanging up.Tried to call them back but they hung up.Obvious Scammers..

This number persistently called and I answered without checking two days ago. They said they were from telstra and asked about our internet connection and I told them we were happy with our provider they told me to 'get f#%*ed' and hung up. Thanks for this site.

Been ringing my mobile every day after reading this i know not to answer

They just rang again and this time someone was on the line. I asked him if he rings from Telstra and after a short pause he said yes and said he has to disconnect my internet blablabla. I'm not even with Telstra. :D Told him I informed police about the calls and he hung up. :D

I receive the calls on my landline from that number. Either missed call or after it gets disconnected after I answered. Very annoying. Can't find a button to block caller.

said it was Telstra, asked to speak to Mrs Albany. I am not Mrs Albany and I have had this number for years.

i am on the do not call register. in the past 3 days have received 4 calls from this number, i havent answered it and have now blocked number.

Having the same problems - keep on getting missed calls from this number over the last few days or I answer and then get hung up on. Gathering they want me to try from a landline - looks like a SCAM

Blocked this number on my mobile. They still call ever day with the same scam!!

Thanks to this site I know not to answer this number, but they persistent.
They should be fined for ignoring do not call register.

asked to speak to thier manager, they hung up on me .
