it doesn't seem to matter how much we complain about this issue our wonderful government ( doesnt matter who is in power) will do nothing unless it will loose them votes...also why would telstra give a damn ,they are still making money every time these scum ring us..so its a no win situation.

I have received 23 calls in 2 days from this number. I really hate these people.

.Same deal as the previous posts several times in the past hour

Pain.....I have had 6 calls this week. once they have answered I just put my phone down on the table. I think they can't clear the line. Could still hear noises in the background 20 min later. Telstra engineer wants to fix my computer.

Scam. Told them to stop calling. Now they call me multiple times, daily. Bastards.

Keep getting calls from a call centre claiming to be from Telstra, re an internet problem. The click and call centre noises in the background is a give away.
Just checked message bank and another 3 calls on same night from this number that did not leave a message. So frustrating when they don't abide by the do not call list.

An Indian man claimed he was from Telstra & said the usual crap about me having internet problems. I let him go for a bit, then when he asked me to go to my computer so he could show me the problem, which I know to NEVER do. I said to him that this was a scam as I wasn't even with Telstra. Then he went on with that Telstra owns all the lines... I asked him why he was trying to scam poor innocent people. He said he had nothing against Australians, but he needed the money. I told him we were poor too & he asked me if I could just pay him $1000 or $2000. I told him I didn't have that much money. So he was polite & told me to have a nice day then. I was surprised he was polite about it & actually admitted to it... I just have to hope he doesn't keep calling...

This disgusting person on the other end of this call threatened my daughter (who is only 15) and said he knew where we lived. Indian scum. In this day and age you would think that technology could track them down and haul them off to prison.

lol. I like your methods.
Everyone needs to do this I reckon.
Maybe they will go away.

How come Telstra can't do anything with all these different calls numbers? what kind of company we have in Australia than can not do nothing about it? or are we living in the middle of the dessert?

I am having the same problem from this number. They call several times in a row on any given day, sometimes a man sometimes a woman. I have also got recorded messages saying "goodbye". This is crap, why do we have to put up with this nonsense? I started off being polite, and just saying I'm not with Telstra, now I let them have it. Telling them I'm not with Telstra and to stop calling me, that I'm getting sick of it, then they just hang up. It's really upsetting, I feel like my privacy is being invaded by these complete strangers, and that I'm totally helpless to do anything about it.😡😡😡😡

I received 3 calls in the space of 45 min and would like to understand how it is that someone can call from a number that can be captured on Caller ID, but is not connected when that number is used to return the call.

I like what a previous person who commented on this number said to these idiots. I will do the same. They're a pack of animals who would prey on some poor, unsuspecting person or pensioner. They are no better than scum and our wonderful Telcos, who have the welfare of their precious customers at heart - do absolutely nothing to stamp it out - let alone the useless "Do not call" register.

they rang me twice today and and other days a woman and then a man,sayingthey are from telsta and we have aproblem with or compute I just dsay bullsh*t we do I know they scammers

If this number keeps ringing I am trying to block it they are scammers but they keep ringing told them keep talking the line is getting traced but now I get a female message that’s says goodbye

Had been getting calls from this number frequently, even on the same day. Like other calls most of the time there is a sort of silence and the a woeman's voice says goodbye and hangs up. Managed to get to the phone to here a voice that sounded Indian coming from overseas; he tried to tell me that Telstra, my internet supplier (which it is not) would be disconnecting for a week, would I like to organise cover for that week. When I questioned him or pushed the issue a bit he became short and and abrupt. Definitely a scam, rang Telstra to confirm! [while typing this another call came through, this time I was abrupt and said your not from Telstra he hung up. When you dial the number is says it is not connected.

Some tossa called me twice in half an hour today stating they were from Telstra. First call they said that my internet was going to be down for 5 days, no reason. Then asked me if I have a computer, in particular a laptop. When I ask what difference did it make what type of machine I was using to access my internet, they promptly hung up.... Second call I was on the phone to Telstra on another line, so the actual Telstra employee got to listen to the scam first hand.

When I answered the phone I got a woman's recorded voice saying "Good Bye" then we were disconnected!!

Said he was from Telstra and my computer had a problem,and that a Virus has started and my internet will be closed Down.."played along" asked to turn Pc ON.." its already on" , press windows Button and the letter R at the same time .. type in .. " then i Hung up" ..

I’ve had the same a recording comes on and says goodbye twice today

Got a call from some guy who said he was from windows technical dpt working for Telstra. Told me I had problems with my computer. I let him go on for a little while until he realised I knew he was a scam artist and then told me I was 'completely a slut'! Following day I got another call telling me I had computer problems. He caught me at the wrong time and I gave him a mouthful and hung up. He called right back screaming obscenities at me! Is everyone in India a filthy, lying scam artist??!!
