Someone used this number (0436 597 000) to send the SMS message below (Monday June 17, 2019, 09:55AM):

"Your First Home Owner Grant means you must move into your home within 12 months of settlement. If you can't make the deadline call State Revenue Office 13 21 61"

Now, is that 13 21 61 number legit, or routed to another scam number???

Caller: SMS

I got this message - quite sure it's a scam "UniSuper has received a request to rollout all or part of your balance. If you have no knowledge of this request please call us on 1800 331 685 urgently."

Telstra planned internet outage alert.

Caller: Telstra

I reported this number to Telstra as a possible scam SMS reporting a planned outage. Telstra emailed back to me - it is a legitimate number and SMS advising in advance of a planned outage.

0436 597 000 I see above and your date. I have been text this number nearly everyday. I have blocked it but it still manages to get through, I am sending message 19/1/2023 and I notice the above message is dated June 17 2019!. Why isn8t this number deconmissioned as a scam number. Seriously telcos do something about it. I have had enough!

Caller: UniSuper

I had a text from UniSuper from this number and it was legitimate as I had just submitted a request

Caller: 0436 597 000

Hi from Telstra, Your Opticomm Network Transition has now completed, unfortunately there is a process delay affecting your original phone number. We'll confirm once the request is completed. Thank you.

Telstra SMS doesn't show phone number!

Caller: 0436 597 000 "Moushimi, your Connection manager from Telstra" !!!!!

Definitely dodgy! Message left from abovenamed, "just confirming that your NBN appointment is booked...etc...28th May"; I am already connected to NBN and have no such appointment. The message also advised that "Your presence is not needed" !!! Yeah, right! Other obvious spelling errors. Totally suss.

filed a complain at telstra support regarding nuisance calls and hacked mobile number. I received a text from this number asking me to check my mail as they have proposed reesolution regarding my complain. I tried calling the number but said the number is not connected.

My SMS from this number said "This is a test only. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to delete this message once you have received it. You are doing a great job, thank you" I'm having a tough day so I appreciate the support 😂 but yeah, total scam.

I applied online for a job on SmartJobs, and this number messaged me saying they have received my application and to call the number to chat. Scam. Poorly written message from them.

scammer

Caller: Text from UniSuper (allegedly)

“Hi from UniSuper, your transfer from Australian Taxation Office is now complete. Log in to see your balance.”
This one is confusing me as there was no link to click, just asking me to log in to, I guess, through the legitimate website? And I am with UniSuper.

I got a text message from this number “Aerial fire ant treatment will occur in Bonogin from 08/11/2024 - 15/11/2024. Don’t irrigate / water / distrurb treated areas for 48 hours. NO REPLY …..(1/2). A minute later, I got a text message from 0436 597 001 “Call Fire Ants 133268 (2/2) I googled 132268. It comes up as water pump adverts.

meh: Telstra "we need to talk to you about migrating your NGWL service before the 3G network". To the real Telstra, I called you months ago about that!

Got this message from the number that called and I ignored. "Hi from Telstra, regardig our call arrangement for L............ I confirmI will call you on 13/1/24 between 8am-8pm"
However I have no dealings with Telstra so obviously a scam and have blocked it.

Mine said Melbourne City Council survey. Got it day after I had google searched Council and also went down and filled in council paper form with my mobile number. How did scammers know, or get my mobile number ?

Caller: Telstra

Messaged saying its from Telstra they tried calling and they received a request to transfer my nbn over to a new provider. answer 1 or 2. spoke to Telstra and they said its a scam.

Scam. Phone flagged call as suspicious so I didn't answer. A Text, supposedly from Telstra Plus, gave details of an issue I discussed with them in an online chat 5 days ago. The issue was resolved at the time and follow-up emails received confirming the resolution. The text was poorly written, with "please answer the call" included, so unprofessional. I'm going to suggest that Telstra online chat has been compromised and details are being used by scammers.

Message Said. Good afternoon, please provide the details of the booking with Dr Mann on the 6/12/23 to booking...
I have no appointment booked with this unknown doctor.
