I am so annoyed with these scammers phoning every day. A different number nearly every time. Always about the internet. How do they get Australian numbers?

My smartphone advised me the number calling was a potential Spam.
So I don't answer, and you get confirmation it is fake when the caller does not leave a message.
Plus I check this site, and I get help from other people who verify the number calling is a fraudster.

Caller: Possible scammer

Said they were from Telstra and asked if I was the owner of my internet connection. I told them I didn’t have an Internet connection. Then they hung up. Lol.

My smartphone advised me the number represented potential fraud

got a call from the ATO saying this was the final warning ... i hung up then.

Caller: Scammer

Indian sounding guy said he was with Telstra and something about my internet was receiving error messages. I just went along with it then all of a sudden he stopped talking and I heard weird crackling noises on the line until I decided to hang up

Caller: Telstra?? So they say!!

Said he was from Telstra? Tried to get me to sit in front of my computer and give him info?? Told me I have a virus and he will help me fix it, yet wouldn't say what info he needed to do so???
TOTAL SCAM....
Don't do anything they say or agree to anything!!

As a business, we received about 20 calls a day from this scammer. Sometimes an automated msg, other times a person with an accent. They advise they are nbn telstra and that our internet will be disconnected. When i advise we are a business affiliated with nbn, they hang up. Another time he advised we would be disconnected in 15 days. I asked for his identification and he hung up.

Caller: (02) 9204 1785

Multiple calls from this number, sometimes they speak, other times an automated message advising our internet will be disconnected. When they have spoken, they advised they were from nbn telstra. I asked which was it, 'the telstra'. He advised our internet was being disconnected. I advised we were a business subcontractor of nbn, he hung up. We get approx 20 calls each day.

Only rang once before phone showed 'missed call'. Of course whenever this happens i use reverse look up & then (99/100 times) block the number on my phone.

Caller: Scam claiming to be Telstra

Called, claiming to be from Telstra internet - they had received a report that my internet was down and was causing security issues, as it was downloading dangerous software every time I accessed the net.

Me: Wow, really?
Them: yes! So, we are offering a one time only service to help you fix this problem. Firstly can I confirm that you are in front of your computer?
Me: (at work) Yes, I am
Them: Ok, I can walk you through the steps on how to fix this
Me: OK, but before we do that... i don't have a telstra internet connection (which I don't)
Them: Oh, yes (pause) well this is a one time only service that telstra is offering
Me: yeah. Nah.

why cannot the government do something about these land line numbers that call and do not respond...

I respond “You are calling about a Chic Band?”
Answer No I am calling about your internet connection...
Response from moi...”Oh you’re calling about having intercourse?”
Reply....”No I am calling about Telstra and your Internet”

The conversation goes back and forth finally I ask can I call you back I have just had my Curry delivered and really need to eat some thing I can actually swallow...

Laughter on the other end of the line then disconnect occurs.

At least they can be entertaining. And the longer you spend wasting their time the less opportunity they have to spoil some suckers day...

Called and said that they were from Telstra and that someone was using my internet. They wanted me to log on so that they could fix the security. Needless to say I refused and hung up. Unfortunately they called on my landline and I can't block them on there, so they just keep on calling.

Caller: Some scumbag pretending to be from Telstra

Same deal here just now - heavy Indian or sub-continent accent. My phone warned me it was spam and as soon as I heard the delay and the click I knew it was indeed a spam call. I let him say about two sentences until I heard "telstra" and "internet" then abused the &%$# out of him before he hung up.

Silence, then a beep and a robot-generated voice saying "Good-bye", then disconnects.

Called said were from Telstra. Told me that someone was misusing my internet connection and asked me to log on to my computer so that they could show me how to see who. When I asked for their name the lady hung up.

SAID THEY WHERE FROM TELSTRA AND IT WAS ABOUT MY COMPUTER INTERNET CONNECTION.
I DONT USE TELSTRA
