Caller type: Scam call
Location: Australia
Caller: Jane - Claims to be an IT Technician with Telstra

On 12/10/2020, I received a call on my mobile from mobile 0493 269 999. The male caller advised that my internet account had been hacked. The male then directed me to a female (Jane) who claimed to be a IT Technician with Telstra. Jane advised that my internet account had been the subject of a number of hacks recently and was calling to correct the problem.

Jane wished to prove this to me and directed me to turn on my PC and type in "eventvwr" into Windows Run and double click Administrative Events (in Event Viewer) as proof of these attacks and errors. Jane then directed me to a web site www.anydesk.com and download the Remote Desktop Software program.

At this point I refused to go any further and I advised that I needed verification. Jane indicated that she can be reached on landline (02) 8006 4447 and to quote her employee number D759.

I reported this to my ISP and they confirmed that my internet account was secure and no malicious activity was seen.

I tried to call the mobile 0493 269 999 but got a message that the number was not connected.

I did a Goggle search of the landline number (02) 8006 4447, which revealed similar reports of this scam. I immediately blocked 0493 269 999 from my phone.

On 13/10/2020, I received a call from mobile 0477 867 854. I didn't answer the call and no message was left. A minute later at 1517hrs, 0493 269 999 number appeared in my phone history without ringing (blocked). I tried to call 0477 867 854 but this too was not connected and I believe that this number is also connected to this scam.

Be very careful of these people. This is an elaborate scam to gain access to your computer. Do not download this remote access program!
