Said he was from Telstra and was calling about my internet connection. I asked to phone him back, (02) 8006 4447 was given and then he answered that he worked for the Australian Government. Total scam. Beware

Got a call from someone posing as Telstra Tech Support from a mobile phone number. He gave the number (02) 8006 4447 and Telstra Corporate HQ address. He said my internet was vulnerable. He asked me to run "netstat" from the Windows command window and then go to www.anydesk.com, which is a desktop sharing program. He hung up when I didn't run go to the website. He rang back immediately from a different mobile phone number. Don't install the software! Beware!

Caller: James Parker - Telstra

Claimed to be from Telstra. Provided an ID number TLS136829 for verification & to call back the number. He initially called from mobile phone 0468 798 865. Claimed that my internet had been hacked & wanted to know what devices I had used & if my laptop was windows or Mac, I said I wasn’t providing more info & he told me to call for verification. As soon as the call was answered I knew it wasn’t Telstra!

Received a call from a lady claiming that she is from Optus and that due to the COVID situation OPTUS is offering a 30% on my bill. I was not sure about this so I quickly went online and saw these comments and hung up.

Same Happened to me today. A guy called from (02) 8006 4447 and said they are caling from cyber cell security and that someone from foreign is trying to access our desktop for the last 2 weeks. They asked us to download My desk software to fix the issue. They sounded so genuine that they gave their direct number name and their ID everything. I almost fell for it as my computer was running slow for the past few days. But checked the number on the internet and realised ITS a SCAM....

Caller: Henry

I have had many calls from this number and been convinced that he was an IT expert from Telstra cyber security service. He and his team called my mobile for a few hours telling that my Telstra Internet address had been used for money laundering and persuaded to cooperate with them to catch those hackers. He kept telling me that was my duty to keep my internet secure. I tried to take time to respond his call and I checked the number (02) 8006 4447 I found the number was scammers.

Caller type: Scam call
Location: Australia
Caller: Caller: Jane claimed to be IT Technician with Telstra

On 12/10/2020, I received a call on my mobile from mobile 0493 269 999. The male caller advised that my internet account had been hacked. The male then directed me to a female (Jane) who claimed to be a IT Technician with Telstra. Jane advised that my internet account had been the subject of a number of hacks recently and was calling to correct the problem.

Jane wished to prove this to me and directed me to turn on my PC and type in "eventvwr" into Windows Run and double click Administrative Events (in Event Viewer) as proof of these attacks and errors. Jane then directed me to a web site www.anydesk.com and download the Remote Desktop Software program.

At this point I refused to go any further and I advised that I needed verification. Jane indicated that she can be reached on landline (02) 8006 4447 and to quote her employee number D759.

I reported this to my ISP and they confirmed that my internet account was secure.

I tried to call the mobile 0493 269 999 but got a message that the number was not connected.

I did a Goggle search of the landline number (02) 8006 4447, which revealed similar reports of this scam. I immediately blocked 0493 269 999 from my phone.

On 13/10/2020, I received a call from mobile 0477 867 854. I didn't answer the call and no message was left. A minute later at 1517hrs, 0493 269 999 number appeared in my phone history without ringing (blocked). I tried to call 0477 867 854 but this too was not connected and I believe that this number is also connected to this scam.

Caller type: Scam call
Location: Australia
Caller: Gave a name Mark Henry

Because I wanted independent verification that the phone call was genuine, I was transferred from someone claiming to be with Telstra to someone in Dodo 'security' who wanted to address a breach of my customer licence and security ID (CLSID) and wanted me to log on to my internet so they could show me what was wrong and fix it. All he did was assert he was from Dodo. I said I would independently check. He gave his name as Mark Henry (he sounded Indian or similar) and this number to call back. Checked with Dodo - it is a scam
