CND showed 01234567890. Answer machine recorded this message: "Internet connection within 24 to 48 hours at your IP address has been compromised from several countries so we need to change your IP address and router which will be free of charge. Please press 1 to get connected to the technician." Female voice, slight US accent. What's their game ???????

Same message, total SCAM.
It makes me so cross that Telstra etc will do nothing to stop this nonsense. They then want to charge a fee to have a silent number, just disgraceful.

Caller: Scammers I have received two robot voice calls in two days leaving a message on my answering machine telling me my internet connection would be disabled in 24 hours as my IP address was compromised in several countries. Asked me to press 1 to be connected to a technician. The first call was from a “Private Number, the second from “01234567890”. This instance is just one of the more comical calls that I regularly receive from scammers wanting to “fix up my computer”, “provide free light bulbs”, “provide cheaper electricity”, etc, etc, etc. Evidently ACMA’s historical attempt to inhibit marketing and spam calls by providing a ‘Do Not Call Register’ worked to some extent last decade, but the scamming operatives have moved on with technology and something more high tech needs to be done to protect the vulnerable people in Australian society. Aside from the obvious fact that these types of scamming calls are extreme annoying. The big question is, what are the telecommunications companies, TELSTRA, OPTUS, VODAFONE, etc and the ACMA collectively doing about tracking down the source of the spammers and/or blocking this crap from entering the Australian telecommunications network in the first place?

Same message, called twice within an hour. I let both calls go the answering machine. Glad I checked here because, just by chance, I was setting up a new laptop!
