received call from the "Technical Department of Telstra". Told them I have a Samsung tablet & they dropped the call :-)

Caller: Indian Scammers

Two calls today claiming to be from Telstra Technical Department.

When I told the second caller I knew they were a scammer, they swore at me in English. Nothing funnier than a thick accented Indian woman swearing at me in English hoping I would get offended. Actually quite hilarious.

They're not even trying by using this number. It is so obvious it is an overseas scammer.

Told him he was a boofhead and he thought it was a compliment

When I see this number I simply answer with "Telstra Technical Support, this is Bob speaking, how may I help you?"... it is always promptly hung up.

Caller: Michael Stark

Initial contact was via dating site Hinge and this is the number he called from. Said his original phone had a bad connecting.
I'm total he's know used 3 different numbers to make contact.

Caller: Scammers

Overseas scammers, don't bother answering.

Relentless scammers...blocked!

They pretended to be from the Victorian government offering to change my lightbulbs for something else for free. Told them that Ive never heard of them and their programme. They said it was fine. Then i said I was renting and they hung up

Get a proper job guys!

Pretending to be from Telstra but obviously they are an Indian SCAM call centre.

Left a message pretending to be from Telstra saying they were about to cut my landline and internet because the NBN is in my area. Guess what? It's not in my area for another six months.
Called them back and they are now pretending to be from Vodafone Directory Assistance (even with a recorded "Welcome to Vodafone..." greeting.
Nice try scammers. Go away and get a proper job.

Pretending to be from Telstra but obviously they are an Indian call centre. Decided I'd try qand order some takeaway. I asked for butter chicken and garlic naan and some vegetable soup. Th guy took my order....then he decided to call me every name he could think of.

Why can't the real Telstra do something about these calls? I have received this call three times already today.

Caller: MELBOURNE?

said they have had reports that my number has been receiving nuisance calls. had fun for a minute with them and then asked if his call would be considered a nuisance call. silence.................I imagine they want $ to stop the 'nuisance calls'. just how stupid do they think we are.

Claimed to be from NBN and were going to disconnect the landline.....

Caller: I suspect, the usual Scamster.

I left Telstra after 40 years because of overseas "Telstra" people who couldn't understand me and I couldn't understand them - today I had the same problem with the 11112000 caller. I told him he was a Scamster and hung up. My daughter asks the like of him does his mother know he's making these calls.

I answer no-one speaks

Caller: Telstra Technical

Said my computer was causing problems on their servers. I asked them to prove it was me by telling me my IP address which I can see by simply typing "IP" in my browser. Was passed onto a supervisor who I got yelling at me. Asked him what his Telstra ID was. Told him that I had looked it up in the staff ID database and it did not exists. Told him. I was Telstra HR manager and that he was an idiot. He hung up. Now they ring me every night. LOLS!!!
