An Indian man called saying there was a problem with our router. Told me to get onto my computer & he would help me sort it out. Told him I would call him back & to give me this number. The number he called me from was 0551494742

Fraudulent call as a Telstra technician, saying pc not working correctly. Asked me to turn on my laptop and to open a file and unbeknownst to me took control of laptop. Took photo of me on phone to them through the Laptop camera. Used access to find cookies and to get into Internet banking and clear out my accounts. Very nasty experience.

Claimed he was from Telstra - they were receiving fault messages from my modem

Steven Parker from Telstra scam call re internet problems they have to dial in and fix up for you

Claimed to be a Telstra technician and calling repair an internet fault. The number to return the call was (03) 9028 7748

Caller: Telstra Technical Department

Yesterday I received a call from an Indian man saying that he was from Telstra Technical Department and that they were calling all customers to update their internet connection ("Really?"). I was suspicious immediately. He asked me to go to my router and tell him how many lights are on. I played along. I said "I can't..my router isn't in the house but out in my husband's detached office" and the door is locked so the kids can't get in (which is true). He asked me to go to my computer, and I said, "Sorry, my computer's in another room and I don't have a cordless phone". Then he asked me to get my mobile phone and he'd ring me on that. I said "Sorry, but we live in a valley in a rural area, and so have no mobile connection here." He started to get impatient with me and said something about not co-operating with them!! He put me on to his "supervisor" (determined little buggars aren't they!) The supervisor went through all the same spiel. I told him to ring back later in the week when my husband, who is a computer engineer (which he is), would be home "He will know what to do." I said. A woman rang today (Indian again) but the call started off with a recorded message and voice menu. She went through the same spiel, saying "Your internet security has 'expired'! I told her that I was going to report her to the police. She hung up immediately.

Fraudulent call! Started out with an automated voice advising our Telstra internet connection will be disconnected within 24 hours, press 1 to speak with customer service. I pressed 1 to get more information, could hear lots of voices int he background and an Indian woman told me that the connection is disconnected due to activity happening overseas via our modem. I asked for a number to call back, she gave me (03) 9028 7748, which I immediately Googled and got this page!! I told her it appears this is a fraudulent call and she hung up on me.

Caller: Don’t know

Hi guys,I got same call and unluckily I gave some bank account information to him as he said that I have issue with old router and someone will come and change old router just pay him $200 From my account and that $200 he will transfer to my a/c...Is that much happen to you,plz let me know what to do?thanns in advance

Caller: Male with indian or similar accent

Rang me up informed me that I was going to have my internet suspended, and that I needed to give him my computer id re internet to rectify. Said he was from Telstra Platinum service(I don't have account with them!!) said theyd sent messages however nil reply hence phone call. I explained he rang on silent number. Gave me phone number (03) 9028 7748. he tried getting me to do a run command in windows (Windows symbol plus r, dont do it !!!!!!!). They will try to then get you to put in ASSOC after run command and then theyll try to get your computer id which I'm sure will lead to them trying to get remote access.) I had an idea what they were up to and got them give me their phone number, which was above one. Contacted telstra Platinum who checked my accounts with Telstra and they said no call.

As a matter of curiosity rang them back (Blocked my mobile id to them) male said he was Steven Parker and gave some id number. Beware they are after access to your computer and will try to get everything they can off it.

Caller: Indian man named Eric Gordon

Told me to expect problems with Telstra and he would help me clear the lines. Got as far as the password bit, which fortunately I did not know. Gave me a phone number and employee number EJV 2074

Caller: Claimed to be Brian Collins from Telstra Agent # 24325C

Claimed to be Agent from Telstra helping fix an internet problem (data exposed, apparently). After much discussion (me doubting his credentials) he gave me this number and it directed me to this site. Told him.."sorry, he had lost all credibility". A few minutes later I get another call (from his supervisor) trying to convince me to go into my computer. When I called him out for the scam he made some comment about my mothers private parts and hung up. Genuine Telstra agent? I think not.

Caller: Brian Wilson

Claimed he was from Telstra - We dont have Telstra connection
Said his name was Brian Wilson - Clearly think Indian Accent so I doubt it !!
Said I would call him back and he gave me (03) 9028 7748 to call back.

Clearly a scam to gain access to my computer.

Caller: Indian Man

Telephoned to say he was from Telstra helpline and that someone had accessed my internet and he was going to fix the problem. he gave me his phone number (03) 9028 7748 and his Telstra id and invited me to call him back to confirm his credentials. I telephoned the real Telstra helpline who said they had never heard of him and the number is NOT a telstra helpline. The chap phoned back 10 mins later insisting he was from telstra and when I told him that telstra had told me that he was not genuine -he hung up immediately. Beware folks

Caller: David (sounds like) Zones - strong Indian accent

Stated our modem had a virus and I needed to follow his instructions. I told him to go away and he said he was going to disconnect our internet. Obviously, we still have our internet.

Indian man claimed to be from telstra faults (wife have reported an internet fault a week ago). He wanted me to download Teamviewer 13. A second man who could speak better english then took over the phone call. A lot of background noise like a call centre. He gave me his partner ID 674521939 and asked me to connect.
I stated I don't know who you are? he again repeated to me he was from telstra he stated he had my internet IP address and phone number. I again asked how did I know he was from telstra and gave me (03) 9028 7748 to ring and verify. I searched phone number provided on Google and found this webpage. I asked him for an email to confirm and he then hung up. Sounds like a scam.....

Picked up, no answer. Nuisance call at best, scammer at worst.

David from NBN Rang my elderly mum claiming someone was hacking into her internet and slowing it down. mum asked him for a number for me to call him back (03) 9028 7748 its clearly a scam

Also received a call from Indian man claiming to be David Johns from NBN & when I requested his phone no. to call him back he gave me (03) 9028 7748, although the no. showing on my caller list was 055 149472
I phoned NBN on their general no. & naturally they have no person of that name

I've received 4 calls saying I have a problem with my router. An Indian man called 4 times and I asked for his number which he gave to me. When I asked him his number he gave me (03) 9028 7748. On my phone it came up a funny number 055......... some other numbers.

Advised he was from Telstra Technical support. He did know I had an internet fault last week (which is correct). Tried to get me to download Supremo Remote access software, told him I needed a password to unlock the PC.
