Caller: Someone from the bank

Got a call from a lady with an Indian accent, she said 2 transactions happened at 7am-8am this morning where $500 was transferred to a Hong Kong bank account. She called off 0429 562 240.
I asked if I could have a contact number as I would hand up and call back directly and she gave me this number 1800 523 500. When I called, it says call cannot be connected. Definitely a scam.

1800 523 500 was the number the person told me he was ringing from,he said his name was Charlie Edison, & his ID number D989502 from Telstra. He maintained my computer was going to shutdown unless I gave him access to my computer. I then called Optus, they confirmed it was a total scam.

This number was also given as the return number for a suspicious call to our landline about alleged fraudulent transactions (so I don’t know the actual number she was phoning from). She was so convincing that we asked for a number to call back rather than just hang up straight away.

Got a call from a 'David Williamson' (whose accent seemed very Indian) claiming to be calling from Telstra, and claiming that my computer was downloading viruses. He tried to tell me that my computer ID was 888DCA60-FC0A-11CF-8F0F-00C04FD7D062, which is used by scammers to appear as if they knew my computer unique ID (Google 'assoc scam' for details), and got me to check it against the second last result from the Windows 'assoc' command, and it obviously matched. I then claimed that my dinner was burning on the stove and asked for a phone number to call later and was given the 1800 523 500 number. The caller also gave me a 'password': 'sunshine' which he claimed would authenticate his return call.

Half an hour later I got a return call from a voice that sounded very like the previous caller, but this time claiming to be 'Eric Stableforrd' (yes, with two Rs, as I specifically asked him whether 'Stableford' was spelt with two Rs). This caller tried to get me to visit the TeamViewer software site, probably to get me to download this remote control software so that the caller could take over my machine, possibly to hold my data for ransom, but more probably to convince me to pay for their services to 'fix' a problem I do not have.

1800 523 500 not actually called, so no proof of connection to unsolicited calls, but all indications are that this number is involved in this scam.

Caller gave this phone number 1800 523 500 and said he was from Telstra and our phone would be disconnected tomorrow. It was a scam and he said his name was David Sinclair and he was using 0374589621 to phone from which comes up as unknown number. Total scammer ! We could see it a mile off ! Attempted fraudster...
