Caller: Namik ?

Spam or scam. Don't trust the number. When you try and call it back it says the number has been disconnected. Very suspicious

Caller: Pests

Rang three times today, did not pick up and no message. Sick of these mongrels they cause a lot of stress to the elderly. Time to stop them, not hard for Telstra or gov to catch them. Don’t suppose they care. Telstra making money, gov don’t care.

Caller: About computer

Didn’t give them a chance to speak. Hung up

Apparently VT Global Support trying to help with a computer virus that I have

Aaargh. So tired of these calls. How is it that with all our mind boggling technological knowledge and its sophisticated application we have not been able to figure out a way to stop the scammers? The fact that they are still in operation suggests they meet with success. Sadly it is the vulnerable elderly (and the naive) who suffer the most. The rest of us just have to put up with the nuisance factor. If we educated everyone who owned a computer on how to spot a scam then surely the scammers would become an extinct species. Be gone with them.

Rings several times a day--well done Telstra Guardian 301 ---stops all these callers, recommend people buy one
No I have no connection with Telstra my NBN is with iinet

Started calling a couple of days ago, when i was at work, no message, but called 4 times one day, that's always an indicator that its a scammer calling. so i checked the number out saw all these comments. I have a panasonic phone that is about 3 years old that allows me to block numbers (doesn't work with "overseas" or private numbers though). Checked out a few new phones and they all have the ability to block numbers. So if you're constantly getting harassed, I would suggest getting a new phone and blocking these scammers!

Answered because it’s a local number, lady Said something about a computer, said I don’t have a computer so she asked if I have a laptop or iPad.. I said no & she said ok bye.. I got iPads but they aren’t connected to my home phone!

Nobody there when i answered the phone. Pests!

Several missed calls a day ... last one a minute ago. Thank you for the warnings here which stopped me picking up. I don't understand why these numbers are not investigated as soon as it's established that they are scamming people.

It is the "Something is wrong with your computer" scam

I've been getting calls from this number for over 2 months. Called Telstra to get the number blocked. No joy. Bought a call guardian 301. No more annoying calls and it works out of the box. In the absence of the telco's putting in an automated call blocking service linked to this website, individuals have to buy hardware or software to stop these prats.

Why don't Telstra disconnect this number ffs.

This number is a SCAM. ALWAYS calling our business number then hang up once answered. Waste of TIME!!

Caller: Oxygen thieves

They keep calling. I keep ignoring. At some stage I’m gonna go all Liam Neeson on these parasites - hunt them down and bury them in the bushland

Caller: BT Support

Said there is a problem with my computer. I told him it sounded like a scam and he started to get rude. I hung up and blocked the number.

This call comes through constantly. I just dont answer it now. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS an Indian voice.

Caller: Didnt catch the name of the person

It is a flat out scam. They hung up on me when I said that that the only thing on the screen was a C prompt!

Caller: Company purportedly in Queensland

Calling to advise that I’d been hacked and my WINDOWS computer was being used to assist scammers. Only OS I don’t run. Told me that he was a cyber security expert. Wasn’t able to give me the IP address of my computer. Hung up when I asked him basic questions re where he got his information.

Asian voice saying they are calling from Wiki about my computer. Hung up.
